Error compiling C++: cannot find boost

[Sachinthya Wagaarachchi]

Asked in mongodb-user as well. Not sure where it belongs!

I am compiling the Legecy Mongo drivers, and it says it cannot find boost libraries eventhough I can see the files there,

pdsf6 $ scons --cpppath=/.../sw/boost_1_57_0 --libpath=/.../sw/boost_1_57_0/stage/lib --prefix=/.../sw/mongo-cxx-driver --sharedclient

The `/.../sw/boost_1_57_0/stage/lib` folder has libboost_thread.so.. can anyone help me figuring why this doesnt work?
