Re: [Boost-users] Linking errors while using the test library (for a very basic program) [test]

The first step completes without a problem, the linking stage gives the following errors

PLEASE HELP! Josh

I just had a very similar problem. I have been using the library fine under Visual Studio, and I am trying to test my code on Linux now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
