[Insight-users] Fwd: using boost with ITK

Ok, ditch the if ( NOT MXA_BOOST_HEADERS_ONLY) and endif().
 Replace with just the
set (MXA_BOOST_COMPONENTS program_options file_system system)
line.

Also, are you starting with a CLEAN build directory to test this? It
is highly recommended at this point. If CMake does not find Boost the
first time through then something is wrong. Did you try setting the
Boost_DEBUG to ON and investigating any additional output that cmake
produces?
