I'm using RCF (C++ IPC framework) and get the following link error on linux:

And error_code.cpp from boost.system is included AND linked to... besides the whole thing works fine on Windows... :(

I recommend you read this: http://vladimir_prus.blogspot.com/2009/06/linking-101.html In particular, the note about static linking towards the end might be directly relevant. Although you did not say how you "included AND linked to" error_code.cpp, so it's impossible to say for sure. - Volodya
