Your headers most probably are not in the default directory. You want to pick up where the libraries and headers have gone to and supply them as CMake parameters. You can use the tool ccmake (an ncurses based interface) to edit your settings.

$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ..
...Your error appears...
$ ccmake .

Generally, I would highly suggest you to build soci yourself from the 3rdparty folder. Then, if you do not have ODBC installed, you also want to

export CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-DDISABLE_OCDB"

See os.cpp and os-fcgi.cpp for reference. For me, I couldn't get OCDB to work. There are a few macros you can use to disable a few modules.

A CMake refactor will happen soon.

Correction, it was: -D OS_ODBO_DISABLED.

If I understand correctly scriptum has issue with PCRE library
