Ok, the lib issues have been fixed. I have configured it all properly and I am not longer getting the 'dir not found errors'. I am alas getting a new error.

You are still not using your tools correctly. -L is for specifying a directory location. The errors you are getting are because you are not linking the thread library. Let me suggest that you take some time with a simple non-boost example and learn how the compiler and linker work. The problems you are having are simply because you do not understand your tools. I am sure there must be some good tutorials on basic compiling/linking somewhere on the web.
