So, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is your system's library search path, its a runtime
thing so it wont help with configuring.

You should have a boost that comes with your system's package manager.
That should be easier to install and the configuration should be more
automatic.

But, If you are going to use a boost installed into a non-standard path,
take a look at the m4 file here:
http://gnuradio.org/cgit/gnuradio.git/tree/config/ax_boost_base.m4
there seem to be options like --with-boost-libdir=
