Did you use those from 

    http://www.starostik.de/malte/boost/

or from somewhere else? I've looked at those and source rpm does include
"boost-build.jam"

This might be because locate db is updated by cron job.

I think you should set "BOOST_BUILD_PATH" to the root of your Boost tree,
which must contain "boost-build.jam".

Let me know if this works out.
