Thanks, that works for boost.

Now it is throwing errors on zlib,
"checking whether to use the ZLIB library... yes
checking for library containing zlibVersion... -lz
checking zlib.h usability... yes
checking zlib.h presence... yes
checking for zlib.h... yes
checking for libz version >= 1.2.1... unknown
configure: error: cannot find a suitable ZLIB library"

I know I have zlib 1.2.3 installed, and I tried 
'--with-zlib=/usr/include/' (where zlib.h is) and --with-zlib=/var/lib/' 
(where libz.so is), neither of which work.

I don't usually have problems compiling anything, boost configured fine 
and everything else I run from source has worked (once dependencies are 
installed)
