had the same problem, that fixed it. I only had to do that on windows.

There seems to be a bug in the FindBoost, BOOST_ROOT should not be required.
  I got it to work by adding this:


 SET(_boost_LIBRARIES_SEARCH_DIRS
   C:/boost/lib
   C:/boost

"$ENV{ProgramFiles}/boost/boost_${Boost_MAJOR_VERSION}_${Boost_MINOR_VERSION}_${Boost_SUBMINOR_VERSION}/lib"

"$ENV{ProgramFiles}/boost/boost_${Boost_MAJOR_VERSION}_${Boost_MINOR_VERSION}/lib"
   "$ENV{ProgramFiles}/boost"
   /sw/local/lib
 )


That explains why I needed to do that on windows also. I do not have
boost in any of these locations...

I don't think boost puts anything in the registry, so if it is not in the "usual" install location, CMake will not find it without setting BOOST_ROOT. However, a "usual" install should just work. I have checked in the fix to CVS CMake. If you install it somewhere else, you will have to set BOOST_ROOT env or set it in the cmake-gui.
