As you can see from the error message a boost header is not
found. Which means that an include path is missing. You can see how to
specify by using CMake's documentation, e.g. "cmake --help-module FindBoost":

cmake version 2.8.9
  FindBoost
       Try to find Boost include dirs and libraries

       Usage of this module as follows:

       NOTE: Take note of the Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS variable
       below.  Due
       to Boost naming conventions and limitations in CMake this find
       module
       is NOT future safe with respect to Boost version numbers, and
       may
       break.

       == Using Header-Only libraries from within Boost: ==

          find_package( Boost 1.36.0 )
          if(Boost_FOUND)
             include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
             add_executable(foo foo.cc)
          endif()

       

       

       == Using actual libraries from within Boost: ==

          set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS        ON)
          set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED      ON)
          set(Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME    OFF)
          find_package( Boost 1.36.0 COMPONENTS date_time filesystem
	  system ... )

       

          if(Boost_FOUND)
             include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
             add_executable(foo foo.cc)
             target_link_libraries(foo ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
          endif()
...

So you have to add the include directory as above.
