You seem to be on a *nix such as Linux where only the library package is 
installed. You need to install boost-devel for your OS distribution, typically 
via apt/yum. Installation of the devel package will provide the appropriate 
symlinks.

One piece of advice: 1.34.1 is very old now. For new uses, please download 
1.42 from the boost.org homepage and compile it yourself.
