Hi,
I know that I'm bothering you with a really common and boring issue, however - I get
this error during the Cmake
Configuring Step:

CMake Error at C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake
2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1192 (message):
  Unable to find the requested Boost libraries.

  Unable to find the Boost header files.  Please set BOOST_ROOT to the root
  directory containing Boost or BOOST_INCLUDEDIR to the directory containing
  Boost's headers.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  cmake/modules/CGAL_SetupBoost.cmake:6 (find_package)
  cmake/modules/CGAL_SetupDependencies.cmake:85 (include)
  CMakeLists.txt:590 (include)

I downloaded the Boost installer here: http://www.boostpro.com/download/. Then I
installed it on the D drive (the OS is on the C drive) because I haven't enough disk
space on C. Then I provided the
Boost directory in the Boost_DIR string in Cmake-GUI (see the red circle in the
attachment) and restarted the
Configure Step. But the directory gets cleaned every time so the Configuring is
incomplete.
What is wrong?

Thank you a lot
Best regards,
Davide Tonelli
