This sounds suspiciously like the Boost problem described here:
https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-9541

There's a number of workarounds and suggestions for how to deal with it
in the issue.  As for the real fix, I'll ping the developer who is
working on it.  It sounds like I also need to update the build
instructions to make that particular pitfall more obvious.

Sorry for frustrating experience!  A good place to get quick answers on
problems like this is on irc.efnet.org #opensl .  It's also a great
place to commiserate  :)
