I'm also running F10 with boost-1.37.

The instructions have you include /opt/boost{whatever}/lib in
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but instead, I simply
  do a "ldconfig /opt/boost{whatever}/lib", and then I don't have to
remember to stuff LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  all the time.

I'm running on a quad-core Q6600 system, which I have overclocked to
about 2.95Ghz, from 2.4Ghz.  It's just
  barely able to keep up with two (complex, 8-bit) channels at 6.4Msps
for my radio astronomy stuff.  I can't get
  it to overclock any higher, until I get a cooler (currently using the
stock fan).

If I had the money, I'd upgrade to a 2U server with twin or quad-socket
Xeon 5472, but I can't quite justify that
  expense after getting laid off a couple of months ago :-( :-(
