I am trying to install boost libraries 1.49.0 on a machine running ubuntu server 14.04. The compilation of boost fails with the following errors.

...failed gcc.compile.c++ bin.v2/libs/locale/build/gcc-4.8/release/link-static/threading-multi/icu/formatter.o...
...skipped <pbin.v2/libs/locale/build/gcc-4.8/release/link-static/threading-multi>libboost_locale.a(clean) for lack of <pbin.v2/libs/locale/build/gcc-4.8/release/link-static/threading-multi>icu/formatter.o...

...skipped 6 targets...

I have been looking for the solution of this problem for several days.
What could be done to solve this issue.
Thank you.
