That is one of the proper places.

The CMake script named FindBoost does not read the environment variable 
Boost_INCLUDE_DIR. However, it reads an environment variable named 
BOOST_INCLUDEDIR. Boost_INCLUDE_DIR is the name of the CMake cache variable.

I suggest that you set, in the CMake cache, and not in the environment, a 
variable named Boost_DEBUG, of type BOOL, and value TRUE. That variable will 
triggered the display of extra messages from the script FindBoost. That will 
help you understand what happens. You can copy-paste the corresponding 
messages in this discussion thread, if you need further help.
