Why? It works here:

make boost-source

Doesn't that work for you?

We normally don't support multiple versions of a package (except for a
few minor exceptions) as that very soon becomes a support headache. Why
would you want more than 1 version?

What would Libraries->Boost contain? Just the single boost package?
