I can go ahead one more step follow up above suggestion. but still error on
link. I use below commands for configure, errors are same:
../configure COMPILED_BY="me" --prefix=/home/spd/wchen18/povray/libs/bin
--with-boost=/home/spd/wchen18/povray/libs/bin
--with-boost-thread=boost_thread-gcc43-mt
--with-boost-libdir=/home/spd/wchen18/povray/libs/bin/lib
OR
../configure COMPILED_BY="me" --prefix=/home/spd/wchen18/povray/libs/bin
--with-boost=/home/spd/wchen18/povray/libs/bin
--with-boost-thread=boost_thread-gcc43-mt
OR
../configure COMPILED_BY="me" --prefix=/home/spd/wchen18/povray
--with-boost=/home/spd/wchen18/povray/libs/bin
--with-boost-thread=boost_thread-gcc43-mt
--with-boost-libdir=/home/spd/wchen18/povray/libs/bin/lib

The error message like below:

Any suggestion?
