The '-l' is not required when explicitly specifying the whole library. So, you
would use one of the following. Replace $INS with
/home/narendra/boost_instal/boost_1_39_0 in the code below.

Option 1:

g++ -I$INS test.cpp -o test $INS/libboost_program_options-gcc41-mt-1_39.a

Option 2:

g++ -I$INS test.cpp -o test -L $INS/stage/lib -lboost_program_options-gcc41-
mt-1_39

In option 2, depending on whether you use static linking or dynamic linking,
you may want to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running the example.

Regards,
Ravi

Boost.Python is a little slower than wrapping directly using Python C-API,
especially in very simple cases like yours. (It is a variant of the
abstraction penalty.) However, it is hard to believe that it is 4x slower.
Would you mind posting complete compilable examples so that we can take a look
at it?
