Hi I just tried to reinstall the library as you said through my packet manager with the reinstallation option (I didn't delete and then reinstall them). But it's still not working. I looked in /usr/lib and i found a lot of *.a, *.so and *.O files. For examples : libboost_filesystem-mt.a, libboost_filesystem-mt.so, libboost_filesystem-mt.O, libboost_thread-mt.a, libboost_thread-mt.so, libboost_thread-mt.O. It looks Ok to me but I'm not a specialist but the .O files look like binaries.... Is it possible to find a way around and indicate the direct path to the binaries ? Thanks for the help.

I just upgraded my OS from Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 and Boost upgraded at the same time from 1.35 to 1.37. I get some errors linked to the compilation command with g++ : /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_thread /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_filesystem These compilation options were working with the 1.35 version of Boost. I'd like to know wether there has been a change in Boost concerning the compilation options or if anything else have changed that would cause

If you're lucky, it's just a matter of the package manager not doing things in the order that gets those symlinks set up properly, meaning it's a place where uninstalling all the boost libs, then reinstalling actually has a decent chance of working.
The various packages for different distros often do things differently from the official ways, though, so it's hard to say. Check your /usr/lib folder and see what binaries you actually have. _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
