python xmp toolkit question

[jyoung79 at kc.rr.com]

Is anyone here using the Python XMP Toolkit?  I'm trying to install 
this and having problems.

First, I tried installing Exempi.  The website says to do the following:
./configure
make
sudo make install

but for Mac OS X they say to do one of these (I'm installing it on Leopard 
and hopefully Snow Leopard next):
./configure --with-darwinports
./configure --with-fink

I ended up trying both of these options, but in the end I get:
checking for Boost headers version >= 1.33.0... no
configure: error: Could not find Boost headers version >= 1.33.0

I'm assuming Boost hasn't been installed and maybe that's why I can't use 
the Make command? (when I run 'make' I get: make: *** No targets specified 
and no makefile found.  Stop.).

I'm hoping someone can give me some pointers on installing this.

Thanks for looking at my questions.
