Hi, Recent versions of LibreOffice-3.6 (since June) fail to build on some of my systems. The error message indicates a problem with Boost::Date_time
checking whether the Boost::Date_Time library is available... yes configure: error: Could not find a version of the library! It turns out Boost::Date_time is in fact perfectly functional and the configure script reports a non-existing error. Removing the check is enough to make LibreOffice-3.6 build again (see attached patch). -- Francois Tigeot

The Boost autotools macros have been unmaintained since 2009; removing the check seems to be the best course of action.
