Can't get flotilla to work and no cookbooks

Something is definitely up, there are no python components to be installed and you shouldn't see those messages.

What OS is this on? If unsure you can type the following in the terminal:

cat /etc/os-release

also, what happens if you:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libboost-system1.50.0
sudo apt-get install libboost-filesystem1.50.0
sudo apt-get install libboost-program-options1.50.0
