I announced more than 2 weeks ago that boost 1.35 was going to be
required, and that then was a good time to do something about.

Directions on building from source are in README.building-boost.
It takes about 5 minutes to build the part we need, and it can coexist
with the already installed version.

And yes, we need it.  I didn't just randomly introduce what I know to
be a problematic dependency.   Do you want SMP support?  :-)

If this is inconvenient for you, there are two other options:  
the 3.1 stable branch or the tarballs.

  $ svn co http://gnuradio.org/svn/gnuradio/branches/releases/3.1


Meanwhile, we're charging ahead on the trunk!
