The CMakeCache.txt contains the lines:

//Enable testing of Boost.IOStreams
TEST_BOOST_IOSTREAMS:BOOL=ON

I tried running just make instead of ctest to see if it would run
the test; however, I got an error about missing static library
(I've forgotten what library, but say it's XXX).  So, I next
entered ccmake to specify the build and test of XXX and then
make.  Then, after a few compiles, it said I was missing
library YYY (where YYY is actually some real library name).
The actual error message was along the pattern of:

Linking CXX executable ../../bin/quickbook
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_filesystem-static
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

What can be done so cmake generates the Makefiles which build the 
required libraries instead of complaining about not finding them?

TIA.
