Problem solved using boost 1.41.0 but I don't think it's a good solution. If someone can update this tutorial with recent informations, it may help keeping ROS usable.
BtW, version 1.50 of boost looks absolutely not compatible with electric.

EDIT : as a header-only library, Boost must be placed in a folder that is parsed when the compiler look for libraries and headers. The path :
/usr/include/
is an acceptable place for that (I don't know Linux well enough, but I think boost comes with the recent distributions - at least of Ubuntu - so there'll be a folder called boost in this directory). You just have to copy the boost_1_xx_y/boost subdirectory content into /usr/include/boost folder. In my case, the upper code doesn't work with version 1.46 and more. As far as I know, it's a problem in the class instanciation. I need property_tree from boost to use the OpenRatSLAM implementation, that are available from boost 1.41, so I downgraded to that version. I think it's not a good solution as there are fixes in newer implementations of boost that are probably useful. Maybe tutorials would be revised to update the code with more up-to-date ROS classes and features. In my case, I'm only using a low importance program (raising head), but it's required to run RatSLAM (as it is visual SLAM).
