When 3.7 was released I compiled it (without the docs) successfully on
openSUSE 12.3.
I updated my system to openSUSE 13.1 and now configure fails:

BTW I've definitely got boost devel installed

Any ideas?

did you do an /update/ to 13.1 or a fresh install? if update, maybe 
something is fishy! what does /usr/lib look like ... there are a bunch 
of symlinks. the links are libboost_*.so and the files have version 
branding ... libboost_*so.x.xx.x ...

libboost_atomic.so.1.53.0 and libboost_context.so.1.53.0 are both missing.

It was an /update/ so something's gone wrong there. Now to hunt for the
missing libs.

I'm wondering if uninstalling, looking to see if it cleaned up proper, 
then re-installing might be a useful exercise ... well unless you've 
already tired that approach.

Here's what I have in /usr/lib:

libboost_date_time-mt.so
libboost_date_time.so
libboost_filesystem-mt.so
libboost_filesystem.so
libboost_graph-mt.so
libboost_graph_parallel-mt.so
libboost_graph_parallel.so
libboost_graph.so
libboost_iostreams-mt.so
libboost_iostreams.so
libboost_math_c99f-mt.so
libboost_math_c99f.so
libboost_math_c99l-mt.so
libboost_math_c99l.so
libboost_math_c99-mt.so
libboost_math_c99.so
libboost_math_tr1f-mt.so
libboost_math_tr1f.so
libboost_math_tr1l-mt.so
libboost_math_tr1l.so
libboost_math_tr1-mt.so
libboost_math_tr1.so
libboost_mpi-mt.so
libboost_mpi_python-mt.so
libboost_mpi_python.so
libboost_mpi.so
libboost_prg_exec_monitor-mt.so
libboost_prg_exec_monitor.so
libboost_program_options-mt.so
libboost_program_options.so
libboost_python-mt.so
libboost_python.so
libboost_random-mt.so
libboost_random.so
libboost_regex-mt.so
libboost_regex.so
libboost_serialization-mt.so
libboost_serialization.so
libboost_signals-mt.so
libboost_signals.so
libboost_system-mt.so
libboost_system.so
libboost_thread-mt.so
libboost_thread.so
libboost_unit_test_framework-mt.so
libboost_unit_test_framework.so
libboost_wave-mt.so
libboost_wave.so
libboost_wserialization-mt.so
libboost_wserialization.so

the difference seems to be my libboost_*-mt.so files (didn't count them) 
... when I go into yast and search for boost then look at the filelist 
for the installed packages I do /not/ see the "mt" files, so your 
mileage may vary comparing to my list

add : LIBS="-lboost_system -lboost_thread"
in the ./configure  command

That's an issue with boost > 1.49

Just because nobody complains does not mean all parachutes are perfect.

Bingo! I must have missed the threads that raised that issue.

Thanks to all for their help
