Make sure that you cleaned out the CMakeCache.txt -- the boost location is
cached, and it's extremely tenacious. When I just now tried to add a 1.61
version requirement, boost was no longer found, and I had to clean out my
entire build dir and run cmake again...

In any case, you can download boost from http://www.boost.org/ , that's
better than checking out from github :-). I'd then remove packaged boost
and install it locally. Make sure that -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH= points to
the place where it's installed.
