I suspect you are using a Raspberry Pi. The Debian version on the Emulationstation website is not for that. Try the Pi version and try the Pi forums for assistance. I doubt anyone here has any experience with Emulationstation.

You neglected to let us know how you installed it, anyway. A brief search at packages.debian.org will let you know what package has your missing Boost library, too.
but it says "Your keyword was too generic, for optimizing reasons some results might have been suppressed. Please consider using a longer keyword or more keywords." And yes i am using raspberry pi
Hmmm--it's compiled on Jessie or an Ubuntu version that used Boost 1.55. Stretch has 1.62. They really need to recompile it against the current releases to make it compatible, or you can do it yourself if you have the emulationstation sources...or you can "forwardport" (rebuild and install the Jessie sources) Boost 1.55 on your current system...but that might be pretty hard on a Pi. Let me see if I can build the armhf (pi) packages in the cloud on the openSUSE build service.
Aaaand the 1.55 builds fail with the newer gcc 6 compiler in Stretch. I could add a repo for the Jessie vintage gcc-4.9 compiler to that one and tweak the build to use that one instead, but now you're talking a lot more time. Perhaps you can add the Jessie repo and install the 1.55 packages from it...I think other people have been successful doing that.
Some more research shows that site you referenced is old, abandoned, and broken, and Emulationstation development has been forked and updated by the RetroPie project. So if you convert your install to RetroPie per their instructions, or do a fresh install, you should get the program by default.
