Thanks for the reply but these three FAQs do not have the answer, I am
afraid. The fist question is about an installed version of Boost. This
one is always found and always used, but I want to use a staged
version.The second question is about the number of tests used by
ax_boost.m4. I don't care for that problem. The third question is about
finding someone else's Boost and NOT having a staged version, but I
*have* a staged version and I cannot convince "configure" to use it.

I have tried:
../configure 
        --with-boost=/home/jkr/src/boost_1_51_0
        --with-boost-libdir=/home/jkr/src/boost_1_51_0/stage/lib

It seems to find something, i.e. I see the following in my config.log
and similar things if I run make:

BOOST_CPPFLAGS='-I/home/jkr/src/boost_1_51_0/include'
BOOST_LDFLAGS='-L/home/jkr/src/boost_1_51_0/stage/lib'
BOOST_LIBS='-lboost_system-mt -lboost_serialization-mt -lboost_thread-mt
-lboost_date_time-mt -lboost_filesystem-mt -lboost_regex-mt'

Note that I had to symlink the "--with-boost"-directory to an
"include"-directory in the same "--with-boost"-directory because
"configure" appends "include" to the path.

But if I do ldd on the executable I get:
jkr_at_panoramix:~/sda/workspace/TestApp/linux$ ldd src/testapp | grep boost
        libboost_system.so.1.49.0 => /usr/lib/libboost_system.so.1.49.0 (0x00007f5145047000)
        libboost_serialization.so.1.49.0 => /usr/lib/libboost_serialization.so.1.49.0 (0x00007f5144dcc000)
        libboost_thread.so.1.49.0 => /usr/lib/libboost_thread.so.1.49.0 (0x00007f5144baf000)
        libboost_date_time.so.1.49.0 => /usr/lib/libboost_date_time.so.1.49.0 (0x00007f514499f000)
        libboost_filesystem.so.1.49.0 => /usr/lib/libboost_filesystem.so.1.49.0 (0x00007f514477f000)
        libboost_regex.so.1.49.0 => /usr/lib/libboost_regex.so.1.49.0 (0x00007f514445f000)

So somehow the wrong boost version is used. An I cannot figure out why.
