Are you setting the proper version of Boost to look for? Is this on Linux or
Windows? What version of CMake are you using? If it is a recent version of
CMake there should be some sort of verbose output from the CMake run which
might help you figure out what is going wrong. Lots of people use Boost with
CMake everyday so it _should_ work. Sometimes there are some subtle setups
in the CMakeLists.txt file that need to be performed based on type of
installation.
