Yes.  Since  Boost.Python is installed under /usr/local, and that is not
on the default include or library paths, you must do the following:
set the CPPFLAGS environment variable to
-I/usr/local/include/boost_1_32_0

set the LDFLAGS environment variable to -L/usr/local/lib

Make a symbolic link in /usr/local/lib
from /usr/local/lib/libboost-python.so -> libboost-python-gcc-mt-1_32.so

Run configure again (otherwise using the same options as before)

Run make.

Note that in order to use the extension module at runtime, you will have
to add /usr/local/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
