Bad idea, use a separate builddir, much easier to clean up when something
goes wrong.

Why do you run cmake as root?

This indicates an unclean builddir, there is much more output in the
initial run. If you're properly using find_package(Boost) then information
about the found boost version is also included.

Either you didn't search for boost, it wasn't found or you forgot the
include_directories() call for the boost-include directory. 

Which cmake version are you using?
