+#### Linking non-default boost libraries
+
+If you have boost installed in a non-default location, you need to be sure that
+the linker and configure scripts know where to find boost. This means making
+sure that the `LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable contains `<BOOST_ROOT>/lib`,
+as well as including the path explicitly when running
+`./configure`:
+
+```
+export LIBRARY_PATH=$BOOST_ROOT/lib:$LIBRARY_PATH
+./configure --with-boost=$BOOST_ROOT/lib
+```
