Which one? The official 3.7.0 stable? The most recent developer head
(3.7.1-alpha.something)?

No need to shout; just gathering information right now.

Well, to me that look like the configure step does /not/ work, so it's
no surprise that make also fails.

You might want to have a look at the thread "Unable to compile under
Ubuntu 14.04" in this very newsgroup, started by Hadmut Danisch on
2014-03-22; it discusses the exact same problems you are experiencing.
To sum up that thread, Ubuntu 14.04 comes with a comparatively new
version of automake that introcuded a breaking change, causing POV-Ray
3.7.0 stable's build process to fail.
To work around this, after running unix/prebuild.sh, run
automake --add-missing
then run the ./configure script as usual.
This should eliminate the first warning you get, and /may/ also solve
the boost error.
If the boost error persists, try running the ./configure script with the
options
LIBS="-lboost_system -lboost_thread"
Alternatively, you may try the "master" branch of POV-Ray, in which
those issues should be fixed by now.
