Ok, I have managed to compile and install the libs but I dont know how to include it in the commandline. The regex example works fine but how do I do it for thread ?

$ c++ -I path/to/boost_1_39_0 example.cpp -o example \

   ~/boost/stage/lib/libboost_regex-gcc34-mt-d-1_36.a

Read it again ;-)

boost::thread is a compiled library that you must link against. Be sure that you have compiled and installed the library, and that you are including the appropriate link command.

I am try to create a thread with boost but eveytime I execute I get some
freaky error messages. See code below followed by error msg:

#include <boost/thread/thread.hpp>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void hello()
{
cout << "hello" << endl;
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
boost::thread thrd1(&hello); // ERROR caused by the &hello param
thrd1.join();

}

You need to link to the thread library.
Please read the getting started guide.

In Christ,
