Grep CMakeCache.txt for "Boost_VERSION" and see what that returns. For 1.48, it'll look like 104800, and for 1.46 it should be 104600. Also see what it tells you when you grep for ENABLE_BAD_BOOST. If this is set to True, it will allow any version. > Cmake didn't complain about bad boost version and I can see no version > info in CMakeCache.txt. Gnuradio compiles and install just fine.
