You need to set Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS in include your version of Boost.
See the documentation to FindBoost.cmake.

I don't think LD_LIBRARY_PATH or CPATH (whatever that is) would have any
affect on FindBoost.  You may want to use BOOST_ROOT either as an
environment variable or CMake variable to assist in finding your custom
build of boost.
