checking for boostlib >= 1.38.0... configure: error: We could not detect the boost libraries (version 1.38 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.

I've reformatted your question so that the output from ./configure displays properly (I also changed your title and tags such that people can better gauge what your question is actually about). The error at the bottom is pretty explicit (made more so by my change to your title). Have you read it and done what it says?
boostlib >= 1.38.0... configure: error: We could not detect the boost libraries
first use this command to know if it is installed or not and what version exist if installed
based on what you will find we shall proceed either to install it or to install suitable version ok?
another solution is to use a precompiled version if you use linux 68 follow this link tophat-2.0.9.Linux_x86_64.tar.gz
