Joe,
    you probably copied the Boost distribution somewhere on your disk
without actually building it. This is fine for the QuantLib library
(as it only uses Boost include files) but the test-suite needs a Boost
library.
See <http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started.html> for information
on how to build Boost.
