cmake not finding CGAL

[Chaffra Affouda]

cmake is not finding CGAL. Trying to link to `/usr/lib/libboost_thread.so' which does not exists on ubuntu saucy. But it does find all libboost 1.53 libraries. Please see attached.

make[1]: *** No rule to make target /usr/lib/libboost_thread.so', needed bycmTryCompileExec890923254'. Stop.

Anyone has an idea how to check this? My boost_thread library is at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_thread.so

I don't know why FindCGAL.cmake is looking for it in /usr/lib

Several packages in Ubuntu 13.10 provides /usr/lib/libboost_thread.so:

$> apt-file search /usr/lib/libboost_thread.so
libboost-thread1.49-dev: /usr/lib/libboost_thread.so
libboost-thread1.49.0: /usr/lib/libboost_thread.so.1.49.0
libboost-thread1.54-dev: /usr/lib/libboost_thread.so
libboost-thread1.54.0: /usr/lib/libboost_thread.so.1.54.0

Ok, this is related to a bug in Ubuntu saucy: (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cgal/+bug/1242111)

I solved it by rebuilding the package.
