I am trying to make a package called visual python, but I keep getting this error. I am using fedora 8 and have Linking cvisualmodule.la ... make[1]: *** [cvisualmodule.la] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/brad/Download/visual-4.beta16/src' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 The key reason I get this error is this line right here... /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_thread I looked online saw that I could try --LDFLAGS-L[path], where path is the path to libboost_thread.so and libboost_thread.a. Those files don't exist on my computer and I have boost-1.34.1-5.fc8 and boost-devel-1.34.1-5.fc8. I did however find /usr/lib/libboost_thread-mt.so, /usr/lib/libboost_thread-mt.so.1.34.1, and /usr/lib/libboost_thread-mt.so.3. Brad Longo
