Thanks for the reply, I changed the compiler/linker arguments to this: g++ -DBOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB -I/home/quirk/dev/libraries/boost_1_33_1/ -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -pthread -MMD -MP -MF"main.d" -MT"main.d" -o"main.o" "../main.cpp" Finished building: ../main.cpp g++ -L/home/quirk/dev/libraries/boost_1_33_1/stage/lib -o"ManagedMakeProject" ./main.o -lboost_thread-gcc-mt-d-1_33_1 Finished building target: ManagedMakeProject ...and still got the same error message: "error while loading shared libraries: libboost_thread-gcc-mt-d-1_33_1.so.1.33.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" There must be some compiler/linker arguments that I am missing to get this to statically link.

I am having a little trouble getting boost to load the static thread library.

For some reason it wants to load the dynamic library instead of the static boost_thread library.

[Nat] I don't know if this is still applicable, but have you tried BOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB? This is the most pertinent message I've turned up:
