Comment:

 I think the issue here is that you have things installed in multiple
 places.  As far as I can tell, you have a version of GCC that you are
 using that is located in /usr/local/bin/.  To the best of my knowledge,
 having a compiler in this location will by default search
 /usr/local/include/ for headers before searching /usr/include/.  The
 version of Boost we are trying to link against is located in
 /usr/include/; but, the version the compiler is including first is in
 /usr/local/include/.

 So, the way I see it, there are two choices:

  * Remove the version of Boost in /usr/include/, or the version in
 /usr/local/include/, so that only one version exists on the system.

  * Use the version of Boost in /usr/local/include/ by specifying
 BOOST_ROOT=/usr/local/ not BOOST_ROOT=/usr/.

 I think this may actually be a CMake bug:

 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20483429/cmake-on-macosx-maverick-how-
 to-force-usr-include-to-be-included
 but either way, one of the two solutions I suggested above should work.
 Please reopen the ticket if this doesn't solve your issue and we can try
 again... :)
