However, for a different program on that system, I need a newer Python. I started a new VM, installed Python 3.3.5 instead of 3.1.5, and tried to build Boost the same way.

Some distros have separate packages for runtime/libraries and for
development-only files like headers. Verify the presence of the -dev/-devel
package for Python 3.3.5.
