Turns out I did fix the boost problem, not sure how, as I tried several 
things. But now there is another error, I just assumed it was boost 
everytime the buildbot failed.

The problem I am having now is with symbols (this is 64-bit):
mpic++ -o dolfin/libdolfin.so -shared dolfin/common/TimeDependent.os 
dolfin/common/Variable.os dolfin/common/timing.os dolfin/common/utils.os
...
lot more lines
...
dolfin/quadrature/RadauQuadrature.os 
-L/scratch/buildbot/local/scotch_5.0/bin -L/usr/lib/atlas -lxml2 
-lscotch -lscotcherr -lblas -lumfpack -lamd
/usr/bin/ld: 
/scratch/buildbot/local/scotch_5.0/bin/libscotch.a(library_graph.o): 
relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when 
making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/scratch/buildbot/local/scotch_5.0/bin/libscotch.a: could not read 
symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
scons: *** [dolfin/libdolfin.so] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.

Fixed this by recompiling scotch, adding fPIC. None of the default 
makefiles had this included.

Anyway, dolfin now compiles successfully on the 64-bit machine used with 
the buildbot.
