I'm a bit puzzled about that:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> ldd /usr/lib/R/site-library/RQuantLib/libs/RQuantLib.so
libQuantLib-0.3.8.so => /usr/lib/libQuantLib-0.3.8.so (0x400d2000)
libR.so => not found
libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x40577000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40631000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x40653000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4065c000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)

Apparently it doesn't need boost to resolve the .so loaded into R. It does
need the headers to compile. And it runs fine.
But your point is well taken. I should extend the configure.in one day.
