Hi there, Surely if that was the case I would have received a compilation error. As it is my code compiles without any errors/warnings which makes me think it's a linker error or something else. Additionally the headers for boost are in /usr/include/boost so I don't believe I need to specify this include directive in my makefile The linking error is baffling me as everything checks out ok...
