Thanks, this will solve my immediate problem, but it don't solve it in
general. (I will use it though, so thanks)
I can't guarantee where the boost libraries are installed, that's why I use
FindBoost.
My current understanding is that boost don't have a specific default lib
dir for different address models, which is the source of the problem as
FindBoost script can't rely on a protocol to find these lib files.

Am I correct?
