[OSM-dev] mapnik on Debian/Ubuntu

Hi,
 
I followed 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Slippy_Map
 
to install mapnik. 

However,
 
>python scons/scons.py install

fails with:
 
>scons: Reading SConscript files ...
>Checking for main() in C library ltdl... yes
>Checking for main() in C library png... yes
>Checking for main() in C library tiff... yes
>Checking for main() in C library z... yes
>Checking for main() in C library jpeg... yes
>Checking for main() in C library pq... no
>Checking for main() in C library proj... yes
>Checking for main() in C++ library boost_thread... no
>Checking for main() in C++ library boost_thread-gcc-mt... no
>Could not find header or shared library for boost thread, exiting!

I tried to understand the "SConstruct" file, but couldn't figure out
which file is missing.

Anyone using this package on Debian or Ubuntu?

Regards,
   Jens
