So the SL5 "boost" RPM provides
libboost_thread.so.2 (etc) whereas your application has been linked 
against an older version. Either you find a way to install the SL4 
version on your SL5 box (which may cause other dependency issues, unless 
you repackage it), or you are out of luck.

I would contact the developer team and see whether they have a timeline 
for a SL5-compatible version. Given that CERN has only very recently 
decided to do anything with SL*5, this may not be the case, but external 
requests would help (perhaps) to raise the priority of such a release.

You might be able too run a SL4 virtual machine instead on your SL5 box. 
Or (if you want production stability instead of sorting out packaging 
troubles) go back to SL4 for now.
