  It does appear to have found your installation.

  We don't use that one. We have our own boost macro that support cross
compiling, unlike the other one.

 If you get the name like "-lboost_date_time-gcc33-mt", it was found. It
looks more like some error. The easiest way to debug configure problems
is to set CONFIG_SHELL to "sh -x" in your environment, and then run
configure like "$CONFIG_SHELL ./configure.... blah". This will turn on
all the debugging output, and then one of us can look at it and see what
happened. At that point fixing it is easy.

 I have boost 34 build from source, and I also work on a Fedora 7
machine, and it all works fine for me. If you do the above, we can
figure out what the issue is.

  btw, is this is a stock 0.8.1 release ? If so, I'd try cvs, as our
boost macro has changed heavily since the last release.
