Boost libraries ! :(

Question

I am in the process of running some tests on a cluster which has CENTOS 5 x86_64 kernel 2.6.18. I need to install a software there which needs boost>=1.42. I have looked around but cant seem to find the solution. I tried installing via YUM but it only lists boost.x86_64. Can anyone please help me in this? thanks.

is it Rocks Cluster ??? Rocks doesn't include the default repository of CentOS by default.. Just refer to Massimo's answer below... — amyassin, Feb 12 '12 at 14:09

What's your problem exactly? The package is there, waiting to be installed. Just do a yum install boost.

Edit:

If the version number is your problem, then you can try looking around for another repository which has a more recent package version, or just download the source and use that.

See this question on StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5559251/how-to-update-boost-when-yum-has-the-outdated-version.

Then please mention it in your question, otherwise it's not clear what you are trying to solve. – Massimo Feb 12 '12 at 13:12
