Hi Martes, welcome to the list. I'm a bit behind on Barry email, so replies
are coming slowly.
Some of the answers below are duplicated from Adam's excellent reply,
but I'll just keep going for completeness. :-)

In the same directory as the configure script.
Note that there multiple ways to build Barry. You can run each of the
three configure scripts separately, and run make from each location
(root of tree, opensync-plugin, and gui) or you can enable these
optionally from the root configure command line, like:
./configure --with-boost=/usr --enable-gui --enable-opensync-plugin
I looked at your logs, and it appears that you don't have boost installed.
Boost support is optional, so you can remove the --with-boost=/usr part
and the compile should work fine.

I'd need to see the output from make install to know. Those message
should tell you where things are being installed. By default, they
go under /usr/local.

Configure and make can be done as your own user.
Only make install needs root.

Sorry for the confusion. If you look at the main documentation page
for Barry, at:
http://www.netdirect.ca/software/packages/barry/
You'll always see the version of the latest release, and the date it
was released. Currently that is 0.14. Any mention of 0.15 is an offhand
reference to one of the CVS snapshots available for testing. Ideally,
people should refer to this with 0.15 + the date of the snapshot,
but sometimes this is missing.
To be clear, 0.15 is not yet released. It is only available in development
form, from CVS or git.
