/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_program_options****

Thanks Kris, that should be the correct solution, except it doesn’t fix the problem entirely. Here is my boost/ilb directory which I pass with the –L flag…****

And even though I tell it where to look, it does not find -lboost_program_options. So I am wondering if this is a version mismatch? Or if the source code for the application needs to be changed?****

I believe you need to try something like -lboost_program_options-gcc41-mt, i.e. the filename without the "lib" prefix and ".a" suffix. If you don't want b2 to add the gcc* suffixes to lib names, take a look at the --layout option ;-) Kris
