Description

When trying to build thrift, running the "make check" testsuite fails due to the make file generated by ./configure pointing to dependency libboost_unit_test_framework.a at "$(BOOST_ROOT_PATH)/lib/". However on an x64 systems, this is actually located in "$(BOOST_ROOT_PATH)/lib64/".

Also, is it possible to use the dynamic libraries instead of static?
