Hi- Running the simple code with Boost Header libraries works perfectly fine. If I try to use any compiled library, then I run to hell. I am trying to use the thread library and I keep getting compiling errors like: undefined reference to boost::thread::!thread()

I installed the package and selected VS8 even though, I am using Eclipse and I added the "C:\Program Files (x86)\boost\boost_1_38\lib" to the linker search libraries paths.

If you specify the above path, the linker will be able to find Boost libraries if you ask it to link to them. Did you actually asked to link to boost.thread? See Eclipse CDT docs for how to do that, and look in the folder above for the names of libraries you might want. - Volodya
