I removed the boost1.41 and boost1.41-devel packages to ensure PovRay will use
my own boostbuild.

I build boost with --prefix=/home/chris/Programme/boost

That gives me:
/home/chris/Programme/boost/lib
/home/chris/Programme/boost/include

I tried different Boost Versions (1.37, 1.43, 1.44) but I didn't get PovRay
configured.

This is the ./configure output for boost with
--with-boost=/home/chris/Programme/boost:

checking for boostlib >= 1.37... yes
checking whether the Boost::Thread library is available... yes
checking for exit in -lboost_thread-gcc44-mt-1_37... yes
checking whether the boost thread library is usable... no
configure: error: in `/home/chris/src/povray-3.7.0.beta.38':
configure: error: cannot link with the boost thread library

I can't understand why there is a linking problem with the boost thread library.
I read that other people had this problem but I didn't find any solution.
