Hey Jeff,

Shared hosting - now that's a tricky endeavor, but is sounds like  
you've gotten quite far along.

Ya, that sounds odd.

Can you give more information about how you installed boost?

Also, finding the boost libraries during the Scons build process is  
all about symlinks, so can you paste the result of:

$ ls /usr/local/lib/libboost* -l

exchange 'usr/local/lib' for your path to the installed boost libaries.


Also, can you tell us what platform your webhost runs and what version  
of mapnik?

Thanks

Dane
