I have written a prgram using boost::thread that works fine on a 32 and on a 64 bit linux machine. On a sun/solaris machine the program fails with the following message:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::thread_resource_error'
Which means that it couldn't create an instance of a thread resource: a mutex, a thread, a condvar, etc.
In my project I do not use bjam, but autoconf/automake. In order to test boost::thread by hand, I compiled some of the files in boost/libs/thread/test by hand...

You need to enable thread support in the compiler. I think the option is -pthreads on Solaris, but you should check the docs. Anthony -- Anthony Williams Software Developer Just Software Solutions Ltd http://www.justsoftwaresolutions.co.uk
