Hi Michael, Most likely your problem is that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not have the boost build directory in it. On the commandline write: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/mshapiro.local/boost/lib/ :$LD_LIBRARY_PATH Hope this helps.

I am having problems linking a program using the serialization library.

I have made a small program, considerably simpler than the demo.cpp listed at http://www.boost.org/libs/serialization/doc/tutorial.html and I have also tried linking demo.cpp itself.

My hpp files are in /home/mshapiro.local/boost/include/boost-1_32/boost/

My libraries are in /home/mshapiro.local/boost/lib/

I have tried linking this code with gcc 3.4.5 on a linux machine using

gcc -I/home/mshapiro.local/boost/include/boost-1_32/ \ -L/home/mshapiro.local/boost/lib/ \ -lboost_serialization-gcc \ demo.cpp

I have tried many variations on this! (For example, I have tried g++ instead of gcc, I have tried all variations on the serialization library, such as boost_serialization-gcc-d-1_32, etc, I have tried turning off warnings as suggested in the compiler specific issues.) I can compile using the -c flag, but I cannot link it. I get a large number of error messages all of which look much like

/tmp/ccuSnkzu.o(.gnu.linkonce.t._ZN5boost7archive18text_oarchive_implINS0_13text_oarchiveEED1Ev+0x51): In function

`boost::archive::text_oarchive_impl<boost::archive::text_oarchive>::~text_oarchive_impl()': : undefined reference to `boost::archive::basic_text_oprimitive<std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> > >::~basic_text_oprimitive()'

I can find various references to this exact problem in the newsgroups, but can find no solution to it.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance, Michael Shapiro
