Hello, all goes well but when I did "make -j4 pycaffe" it gives this error and I could not solve it

ld: library not found for -lboost_python
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make: *** [.build_release/lib/libcaffe.so.1.0.0] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
