It would seem that vtkInfovis is not building with vtkBoostLogWeighting
and vtkBoostRandomSparseArraySource, but they should if you have
VTK_USE_N_WAY_ARRAYS and VTK_USE_BOOST on. If either is not on, then the
executable InfovisBoostArrayCxxTests should not be built, so I'm not sure
what the issue is here.

Another not-directly-related question: I have written a simple example using
