You're not using the official FindBoost.cmake from CMake 2.6, so you're on
your own. Basically it tells you that there's no LibFindMacros.cmake file
and thus no libfind_process cmake command or macro.

If you're using cmake 2.4 I suggest upgrading, the 2.4 Module is
rather outdated and pretty old so no wonder that it doesn't work with a
recent compiler.
