How To Update Boost When Yum Has the Outdated Version

boost centos yum gearman

I am trying to install the latest version of Gearman. However, it keeps giving me the error:

Checking for Boost Headers version >= 1.37... no

When I check my Boost version (yum list installed | grep boost), all the versions are 1.33. The latest Boost version is 1.46, but it seems CentOS does not have this version in their repositories.

Is there any way to get around yum to update Boost to the latest version?

You could try and build it from source or add a repo that has the latest boost distro to your yum repos.
