Comment:

 Hello Madda,

 I'm sorry for the very slow response to this ticket.

 I think that when you specified 'ccmake -D BOOST_ROOT=/ust/local/boost',
 that was incorrect, and you should have specified BOOST_ROOT=/usr/local/
 because the libraries are in /usr/local/lib/ and the headers in
 /usr/local/include/, not /usr/local/boost/lib/ and
 /usr/local/boost/include/.

 Even so, I am not sure what happened in your situation.  I think that
 maybe on your system, you had only partially uninstalled the Boost
 libraries, causing the FindBoost script to find Boost headers in
 /usr/include/ and assume the libraries were in /usr/lib/.

 If specifying BOOST_ROOT=/usr/local/ does not work, you can try adding
 additional options that are documented in the FindBoost.cmake script:

  * BOOST_INCLUDEDIR
  * BOOST_LIBRARYDIR
  * Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED=OFF (this will cause the -mt version to not be
 used)

 If none of these work, feel free to reopen the ticket, but I am fairly
 sure that one of these things should resolve the issue.

 Thanks for the patience, and sorry for the slow response.

 Ryan
