Joaquim,

How did you install Boost?  I admit that our Boost finding tools aren't so great, and I have had a bit of trouble with them as well on windows, but I have had good success by installing the binaries from boostpro.com and choosing the program_options library with all build types.  By default, libLAS wants to statically link the multithreaded DLL for program_options and boost_serialization (all other Boost usage in libLAS is headers-only AFAIK), so make sure you have these library types installed.  If you are building Boost yourself, this means investigating and using the options necessary in bjam (yuck!, btw, I hope they officially upgrade to CMake) to get the build type you need.

Hope this helps,

Howard
