Tom's notes say to install the Spirit miniboost package (it's include files only), but it is not installed as such for rhel6.  I can find no evidence in source code, Makefiles or Qt .pro files that it's used.

They also mention stx-exparser.   That is used, but apparently only by workflow, not by releaseManager.   And its README explains that it depends on the Spirit miniboost package!  But only at build time. RM itself doesn't need it.

Possible short-cut

It may be that we can get by with the rhel6 binaries of RM programs and externals to begin with. (The rhel5 build of GoGui, another Qt-based program, is perfectly usable on rhel6 and comes up with no complaints on rhel7.)  Ultimately we should have a native rhel7 build, but if the rhel6 binaries are usable the db updates and Jenkins interface could be tested much more quickly.
