Since Ubuntu is so common I might just as well give a tip here. Building libtorrent-rasterbar 1.6.0 fails in Ubuntu 12.04. The standard Boost version that gets installed seems to be the problem. When replacing it with 1.48.0-3 it works without any modifications or patches.
I can not recall the exact error I had with the original boost but I think it had something to do with "boost asio". I hope I solved someones problems though.
