Need to Upgrade Boost from 1.32 to at least 1.33

I'm on a VPS and have no choice but to stick with CentOS 4 until the VPS host decides to move to CentOS 5.

[quote]# uname -a

Linux ********.com 2.6.9-023stab046.2-smp #1 SMP Mon Dec 10 15:04:55 MSK 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux[/quote]

Don't know if any of the output above or below is needed but better safe than sorry. :)

[quote]# rpm -qa kernel\* | sort
kernel-2.6.9-67.0.22.EL
kernel-devel-2.6.9-67.0.22.EL
kernel-largesmp-devel-2.6.9-67.0.22.EL
kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-67.0.22.EL
kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.105[/quote]

I grabbed the 1.33 RPM fron kernel.org and when I tried to install it, I got the following output.

I've googled and yahood like crazy for the past three days trying to find a way to make this upgrade happen. I'm curious if I'm just out of luck because this is CentOS 4 or if I can point to the CentOS 5 repos to make this stuff do an upgrade.

If you have any information, or can point me to a link that might be helpful, I would be forever grateful.

Adding CentOS 5 repositories to your CentOS 4 is a good way to trash your system.

Why do you need to upgrade boost?

That's what I figured but I thought I'd check. :)

The program I purchased to run on my web server was written with 1.33 and fails when I try to compile with 1.32 and the author said I need at least 1.33.
