Not sure where you do this in Eclipse these days, but under the include paths for Eclipse should be the path to the main boost directory (/Users/jacobschoen/Library/boost_1_45_0?). The compiler line should have something like the following in it, I would think:

Invoking: GCC C++ Compiler

g++ -I/Users/jacobschoen/Library/boost_1_45_0 -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -MMD (etc..)

Update: Looking at my system, the linker path on yours might be more appropriately:

-I/Users/jacobschoen/Library/boost_1_45_0/stage/lib

Depending, of course, upon how you've installed and built boost -- this is with my most recent attempt with a full source build. Depending upon how you obtained boost, this may or may not be different. I recently redid the boost on my Mac for 64 bit and haven't had much time to try it yet....
