I've just built and installed the boost 1.34 libraries from source on a Centos 4.4 Linux intsall, along side the default 1.32 Boost version that comes with RedHat/CentOS 4. The boost libraries have been installed in /usr/local/lib, but have very long and specific names, like libboost_program_options-gcc34-mt-1_34.so, and so to link against them I have to specify, for example, boost_program_options-gcc34-mt-1_34 instead of boost_program_options. Is there any quick change that I can make to create the extra symlinks, or are the long names deliberate and sensible? Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Steven
