Question:
Boost-Libboost is needed in Centos7 (ContexBroker)

Description:
I am trying to install ContextBroker in Centos7:

sudo rpm -i contextBroker-0.14.1-1.X86_64.rpm

But I am getting the next error:

error: Failed dependencies:

libboost_filesystem-mt.so.5()(64bit) is needed by contextBroker-0.14.1-1.x86_64

libboost_system-mt.so.5()(64bit) is needed by contextBroker-0.14.1-1.x86_64

libboost_thread.so.5()(64bit) is needed by contextBroker-0.14.1-1.x86_64

Up to this point I thought that the solution was clear, lets install:

sudo yum install boost boost-devel boost-doc

But it was not functioning and Centos7 was giving me the same error.

Then I though that maybe it was because the static versión was needed as the error is related to libboost and not directly boost ( I do not know if this was a good assumption),but I tried and it was not functioning and Centos7 was giving me the same error.

The thing is that I am able to find those files, but I dont know how to give dependencies to rpm and in case is not possible I tried to install the following packages:

sudo rpm -i boost-1.53.0-18.el7.x86_64.rpm

However to be able to install the following two packages, I had to install boost-devel using yum, because when I tried to install the package boost-devel.1.53.0-18.el7.x86_64.rpm I was missing a lot of dependencies.

sudo rpm -i boost-static-1.53.0-18.el7.i686.rpm

(Edit. The extension .i686 is for 32 bits, so this package was not needed.)

sudo rpm -i boost-static-1.53.0-18.el7.x86_64.rpm

The result was the same.. so I have two questions:

1.Can someone tell me the name or pass me the link of the boost rpm that I am missing and that is not allowing me to install directly boost-devel from the rpm.

2.Which one is the correct order to install all the boost rpm packages in Centos7?

Thanks!!

Edit:
I found that the extension of the files that are in my system end with .so.1.53.0, and the dependencies that the rpm is asking for end with .so.5()(64bit). Can it be that the rpm is looking for a specific version of the dependencies?
