/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_program_options

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

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…

/boost/1.44.0/lib/libboost_program_options-gcc41-1_44.a

/boost/1.44.0/lib/libboost_program_options-gcc41.so

 

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?
