Download
"boost-jam-3.1.11-1.i386.rpm"
and
"boost_1_33_1.tar.gz"
from
 http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586

#rpm -ivh /path/boost-jam-3.1.11-1.i386.rpm
#mv /path/boost_1_33_1.tar.gz /usr/local/src/
#cd /usr/local/src
#tar -zxvf boost_1_33_1.tar.gz
#cd /usr/local/src/boost_1_33_1/tools/build/jam_src/
#./build.sh
#cp bin.linuxx86/bjam ../../../
#cd ../../../
#./bjam "-sTOOLS=gcc" install

Did it work?
