Hi Olivier,

I also had some trouble with FindBoost in the past.
Please check the output of 'gcc --version'. There used to be a bug
(7097), which misinterpreted the compiler version here. The bug is
marker as resolved
and it works for me, but if the version information of your compiler is
somehow strange, the problem might lie here. The output of my gcc 4.3.0
is "gcc-4.3 (GCC) 4.3.0", which works with CMake 2.6.2.

If this is not the problem, you will have to enter some MESSAGE lines
into FindBoost.cmake to find out what's going wrong.

Regards,

Martin
