I Googled "boost 1.40 source", downloaded boost_1_40_0.tar.bz2 to the folder I keep plib, fgrun, SimGear, fgfs source folders. Exported and looked in the folder boost_1_40_0 for likely directions for building it. In that folder found index.html. That html had a "Getting Started Guide Link" that had a "Boost Getting Started on Unix/linux" link. Heading 5.1 on that page had easy-to-follow instructions. I probably compiled a lot more than required, but all worked. This was with FC10. FC11 boost-1.37 is available as an rpm.
