I just installed Boost and noticed the library names all have the compiler/boost version in the file name, e.g. gcc41. libboost_date_time-gcc41-mt-1_39.a

The program I'm trying to compiler only looks for the library name, e.g. libboost_date_time-mt.a. My error: error: Unable to find file or target named error: '/usr/lib/libboost_date_time-mt.a' error: referred from project at error: '.'

How can I make boost install using the library names without compiler name/boost version?

Compile Boost with --layout=tagged.

And use Boost 1.41, I think. This option is not available in 1.39 - Volodya
