Are you sure your alternator was charging when it quit? I suspect you have a low battery or possibly bad battery connections. As far as when you tried to boost it, you have to have a good heavy set of booster cables or let it set a bit with the booster cables connected before starting the dead vehicle. That would be my guess from this vantage point.

After charging the battery if it won't start check the fuseable links by the starter. Use a 12 volt test light and check for power to the solenoid. Then have some body else try to crank make sure you have power to both sides.
