This isn't really a Boost question.  However older guidelines for 
installing OpenFOAM on Ubuntu are here:

https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Installation/Linux/OpenFOAM-2.3.0/Ubuntu

You'll see that there's specific Boost dev libraries that need to be 
installed.  If this doesn't work you should ask on the OpenFOAM mailing 
list.
