POV Ray installation - configure error

I am trying to install POV-Ray 3.7 stable version. I downloaded the source code from github repo.

I followed the instruction for unix system which is described in the README file.

Unfortunately I get error message when I run configure command.

./configure COMPILED_BY="your name <email@address>" 

The first error said that it could not find the boost library 1.37 or higher, so I installed the libraries.

sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev

Now I can locate them as below:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_date_time.so.1.53.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_iostreams.so.1.53.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_program_options.so.1.53.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_python-py27.so.1.53.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_python-py33.so.1.53.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_system.so.1.53.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_thread.so.1.53.0

And I tried to run the configure again, and the error message is like this.

...
checking for boostlib >= 1.37... yes
checking whether the Boost::Thread library is available... yes
checking for exit in -lboost_thread... yes
checking whether the boost thread library is usable... no
configure: error: in `/usr/local/povray-3.7-stable':
configure: error: cannot link with the boost thread library
See `config.log' for more details

So I put additional option --with-boost-libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/, but it wasn't successful either.

Can anyone tell me what I am missing?

I found it.

The configure script was not able to find library links properly. I am writing this, in case there's anyone who has the same problem as mine.

./configure COMPILED_BY="name <email>" LIBS="-lboost_system -lboost_thread"

This solved my problem, and here's some other solutions. [POV-Ray Newsgroup

Checking whether the boost thread library is usable... no

You install might want to install libboost-thread1.53.0 too.
