Which software are you building with CMake ? Boost itself?

Could you run

cpack -D CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_DEBUG=1 -G RPM > cpackRPM.out
then open a bug report for CPackRPM
http://www.cmake.org/Bug/my_view_page.php

for which you'll attach:
- cpackRPM.out
- rpmbuild.err
- rpmbuild.out
- and  the generated spec file.

Ok I see, you cannot have space in RPM package name.
Alternatively you may only change the name of the RPM package
set(CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_NAME "Boost_C++_Libraries")

OK what I can do you may be to automatically replace "space"
with underscore when building the RPM package name from
CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME,
basically I will do:

string(REPLACE " " "_" CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_NAME ${CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME})
