I am posting in this list, because I think the right package is missing 
from the repositories. Here is the complete yum interaction:

# yum install boost-static.i686

It seems that package boost-static.i686 1.53.0-8.fc19 does not exist 
anywhere yum searches.
Is there a repository missing? I am seeing "updates" listed.
