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).

Subject: [PATCH] configure: remove broken Boost::Date_Time check
On some systems, AX_BOOST_DATE_TIME fails to detect the presence of a
perfectly functional Boost::Date_Time library, preventing LibreOffice
to build for no reason.
The Boost autotools macros have been unmaintained since 2009; removing
the check seems to be the best course of action.
That would mean that the build fails in the middle for "no reason" if
the lib is really missing. Really, checking that all prerequisites of
the build are in place is what configure is for. If the test causes
problems for you, fix it.
