I assume it can find the headers, since it's installed in the standard 
location (/usr/local/lib/) and a few lines above the error it shows 
"checking whether the Boost::Thread library is available... yes".

I also tried to build it with just the boost source, 
(--with-boost-src=/home/cshake/Downloads/boost_1_38_0/) and ./configure 
works fine, but make dies saying
"*** No rule to make target 
'/home/cshake/Downloads/boost_1_38_0/libs/thread/src/barrier.cpp', 
needed by 'barrier.o'. Stop".
I looked at that folder and there is no such file 'barrier.cpp' in that 
folder or any subfolder, so I am confused.
