I'm working with boost log examples (v1.55) of trivial logging and having issues linking against these libraries. I'm receiving these errors. undefined reference to `boost::log::v2s_mt_posix::core::get()' undefined reference to `boost::log::v2s_mt_posix::core::set_filter(boost::log::v2s_mt_posix::filter const&)' In function `main': undefined reference to `boost::log::v2s_mt_posix::trivial::logger::get()' undefined reference to `boost::log::v2s_mt_posix::trivial::logger::get()' undefined reference to `boost::log::v2s_mt_posix::trivial::logger::get()' undefined reference to `boost::log::v2s_mt_posix::trivial::logger::get()' undefined reference to `boost::log::v2s_mt_posix::trivial::logger::get()' more undefined references to `boost::log::v2s_mt_posix::trivial::logger::get()' follow What I don't understand is that I have the correct paths to where the shared libs are located in my make file (-L/usr/lib64) and also included the libs (-lboost_log -lboost_setup). I have these boost libs on my system. /usr/lib64/libboost_log_setup-mt.so /usr/lib64/libboost_log-mt.so /usr/lib64/libboost_log_setup.so /usr/lib64/libboost_log.so /usr/lib64/libboost_log_setup.so.1.55.0 /usr/lib64/libboost_log.so.1.55.0 /usr/lib32/libboost_log_setup-mt.so /usr/lib32/libboost_log-mt.so /usr/lib32/libboost_log_setup.so /usr/lib32/libboost_log.so /usr/lib32/libboost_log_setup.so.1.55.0 /usr/lib32/libboost_log.so.1.55.0 Anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
