Comment (by rcurtin):

 Actually, looking at this a bit further, I think I have found the
 inconsistency.  From CMakeCache.txt:

 {{{
 Boost_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/usr/local/include

 ...

 Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS:FILEPATH=/usr/lib
 }}}

 So, it is linking against whatever Boost version is in /usr/lib/ but the
 include files it is using are in /usr/local/include.  My guess is that the
 system has a version (probably an older version) of Boost in /usr/lib/ and
 /usr/include/, but you have also built a copy locally and installed it to
 /usr/local/.

 Do Boost libraries exist in /usr/local/lib/?  If so, try specifying
 BOOST_ROOT as a CMake configuration option: -DBOOST_ROOT=/usr/local/ and
 see if that works.

 Also, do Boost header files exist in /usr/include/?  It may be that you
 have installed through your package manager the Boost runtime libraries
 but not the development headers (on Debian, this package is libboost-all-
 dev; it probably has the same name on Ubuntu and other Debian derivatives
 but I am not certain).
