I am working with a project (called hpx) that relies on Boost libraries { serialization, etc }. We use CMake for building this project.

On my Linux Ubuntu box the build process goes through smoothly

However on another Linux machine with similar cmake2.6 & Boost 1.35.0 setup (in /usr/local/ ) the Cmake fails to find the specific boost libraries....

following is a detailed description of the problem:

After that the example (test) programs use the "libhpx" to link and generate executables

my directory structure is as follows

HPX_ROOT/
      CMakeLists.txt
    |
    |
    HPX_ROOT/src
       CMakeLists.txt
    HPX_ROOT/examples
       CMakeLists.txt
    HPX_ROOT/hpx
       contains all the headers..

ON the Problem machine even though the boost libraries and such have been installed in globally addressable space /usr/local/{lib,include} and /usr/{lib,include}
The CMakeLists.txt line :

find_package(Boost 1.35.0 COMPONENTS date_time filesystem graph regex serialization thread system signals)

doesn't find the corresponding libraries on celeritas that it does on my linux box..
