I think some operating systems make you install boost packages a
little bit separately. Can you try

sudo yum install boost*

or something like that to see if you can get all the parts of boost installed.

If that doesn't work,

sudo find / -name vector_property_map.hpp

If you really don't have this file, then you need to check with the
Boost folks or your OS folks to see how to get it installed properly.
You could always build it from source and tell VTK where to find it.

Thanks,
