Try installing the boost development packages -- on debian
  # apt-get install libboost-dev
should work.  (You could save some disk-space by carefully installing
just libboost-<foo>-dev packages for the libraries monotone actually
uses, but just grabbing the whole pile of them is easiest.)

savannah admins -- they actually run this list.
