What version of boost is available in the repos (`yum info libbost`) and what version do you want? – Andrew M. Nov 22 '10 at 03:40

Try running something like this (from terminal and via sudo or su of course):
yum install libboost libboost-dev
or
yum install boost boost-devel boost-doc
And anytime you can download boost sources and perform
./configure && make && sudo make install

This will work, but be warned--if there are files placed on your system by `sudo make install` that are not in the original package, they will not be removed when you uninstall the original boost RPM. – Andrew M. Nov 22 '10 at 03:41

Also be warned that installing Boost through yum will not provide the latest version of Boost as posed in the original question. Also, Boost uses `bjam install`, not `./configure && make && sudo make install`. – Brian Cline May 01 '11 at 19:49
