Which version of Fedora?

> CMake Error at /root/cmake-2.8.10.2/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1192 (message):

Type as root:

  yum install boost-devel

or:

  pkcon install boost-devel

if you prefer to use PackageKit over Yum (the native package manager for 
Fedora).

That will install the missing files: .so files for Boost libraries, and 
header 
files (.h and .hpp). Then relaunch CMake.

By the way, you can also install CMake using the Fedora package manager (Yum 
or PackageKit):

  yum install cmake
