With regard to boost, I have not had any problems with downloading, compiling,
and installing the boost libraries from www.boost.org (actually only need to
compile two of the threading libraries, but I install all of it anyway).

    Because having a working boost is a moving target ?

Have you been using Povray 3.6 this whole time? Were you able to compile any of
the 3.7RCs during the past year?

Doesn't say what OS he's using. He just says he tried instructions for Ubuntu
13.10 and 13.04. That doesn't tell us what OS he's actually using. Assuming apt
works on his system, he could be running any Debian-based OS (Debian, Ubunt,
Mint, SteamOS, etc.).

When I tried to install 3.7 RC3 back in 2011, I did this - and wrecked 
my entire system! Please not again!
