On ubuntu and debian the default repository take you to an older version of libboost even after update,upgrade so you need to

sudo apt-get autoremove libboost-dev
then
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:boost-latest/ppa

[to get add-apt-repository on debian install python-software-properties (before jesse) or software-properties-common (from jesse on)]

then use aptitude search boost to search last version, on my debian jesse is libboost1.55, so I do:

sudo apt-get install libboost1.55-all-dev libboost1.55-tools-dev libboost1.55-doc libboost1.55-dbg libboost1.55-dev

And it stll tell me:

-- Using custom FindBoost.cmake
CMake Error at libraries/fc/CMakeModules/FindBoost.cmake:1129 (message):
  Unable to find the requested Boost libraries.

  Boost version: 1.55.0

  Boost include path: /usr/include

  Detected version of Boost is too old.  Requested version was 1.57 (or
  newer).
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:80 (FIND_PACKAGE)

how is this possible?

PS omg cmake it's a real mess I cant get rid of this shit, cant pass the right inlude folder what a nightmare...
