What boost packages are currently installed?
rpm -qa \*boost\*

The .a I believe is provided by boost-static (at least in SL7). Only the 
.so are in boost-date-time.

If you compiled your own libboost, is there a reason you are still 
compiling against the RPM packaged version? I'm a bit confused...
