[Boost-users] errors while compiling the boost-libraries

I was trying to compile the boost-libraries in order to use them in 
dolfin (1.4.0), as I got an error message in Dolfin as follows:
> ImportError: /home/phoenix/Work/FEniCS/lib/libdolfin.so.1.4:
> undefined symbol: _ZN5boost6thread4joinEv

I thought that the undefined symbol pointed towards the boost libraries 
and so I tried to recompile them by including them into the dorsal 
script.
A compilation of the latter stopped with another error however. The 
..Work/FEniCS/src/boost_1_55_0/dorsal_build.log ends with
> ...failed updating 45 targets...
> ...skipped 50 targets...
> ...updated 564 targets...
and can be seen in full glory here:

Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?
