You did not tell us what exact system you are on, but you could try to skip the boost build with the cmake option, -DKICAD_SKIP_BOOST=YES, but only do this if you have boost 1.56 or newer on your system.
Alternatively, if you want to retry, try to delete the .downloads-by-cmake/ folder under the source tree and rerun make.
