I downloaded the current version of boost from here: http://www.boost.org/users/download/ (the Unix tgz)
Then I religiously followed these instructions: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_61_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html...
It didn't install much of anything useful...just stuff in /usr/local/share/boost-build, apparently the build system. No headers were installed, no libs were built or installed...
That sounds like you ran it in tools/build (which installs Boost.Build) instead of at the root (which installs Boost).
I tried to install from debian packages and that failed miserably too but that's another story...
