<p>Someone could add an option to FindBoost that will simply exclude the system paths from the search. This has never been implied by setting BOOST_ROOT. As long as the unversioned library names are being searched for with find_library they are likely going to be found. Currently the onus is on the user to double check what FindBoost discovers.</p>

It found /usr/lib/libboost_date_time-mt.so<br>
before /home/loose/boost/boost-1.40.0/lib/libboost_date_time.so, simply<br>
because libboost_date_time-mt.so is searched for in *all* paths before<br>
libboost_date_time.so.<br>
<br>
Anyway, I still think this is (also) a CMake issue. IMHO it would make<br>
sense to turn the loop in cmFindLibraryCommand::FindNormalLibrary()<br>
inside out. What's your opinion?<br>
