Bug Description

The AX_BOOST_SYSTEM autoconf macro ( http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_boost_system.html ) checks for the presence of the header "boost/system/error_code.hpp". Since this header is included in libboost1.42-dev instead of libboost-system1.42-dev the autoconf macro incorrectly identifies the Boost::System library as being installed even when it is not, leading to compilation problems.
