I don't know if this is your problem, but I ran into this issue as well,
even though I had boost.thread installed. My first attempt ended with me
hard coding the m4 script that looks for the boost.thread library with the
path to it. Eventually, however, I realized that the script was failing
because I did not have g++ installed, and the compile test was failing
because of that. So make sure that all of the required build tools are
installed.
