title: Cannot find boost with CMake on Linux Mint
body: <p>I have been working on a library in C++ and have run into a bit of difficulty trying to integrate boost into my project. I kept the message that boost could not be found, but on the other hand, my fellow developer using Arch had no issues.</p>
  
  <p>We figured out that this is because Linux Mint (at least with the libboost-all-dev package) installs the libraries to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu which is not searched by the FindBoost module. We fixed this by creating symbolic links:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost* /usr/lib/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What I want to know: is there a better (more acceptable) way of fixing this because when I compile major projects, I do not run into this problem.</p>
  
  <p>Here is CMakeLists.txt (with some omissions)</p>
  
  <pre><code>cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
  project(testlibrary CXX)
  
  set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-std=c++0x ${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS}")
  
  set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)
  set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED OFF)
  set(Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME OFF)
  
  find_package(Boost 1.55.0 COMPONENTS unit_test_framework thread log REQUIRED)
  
  include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
  
  add_library(testlibrary STATIC ${SOURCE_MAIN})
  
  target_link_libraries(testlibrary ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
  </code></pre>
