Problems locating boost libraries in Mac

I installed the latest version of boost, locating the boost-build.jam file in Documents/programs/boost_1_40_0. Unfortunately, when i go to run the configure file for PythonMagick, I keep getting the error below

checking for boostlib >= 1.20.0... configure: error: We could not detect the boost libraries (version 1.20 or higher). If you have a staged boost library (still not installed) please specify $BOOST_ROOT in your environment and do not give a PATH to --with-boost option. If you are sure you have boost installed, then check your version number looking in <boost/version.hpp>. See http://randspringer.de/boost for more documentation.


Should I be placing the boost-build.jam file in a different location? Any tips would be much appreciated
