Hello Brad,

I am trying to make a package called visual python, but I keep getting
this error.  I am using fedora 8 and have

Linking cvisualmodule.la ...
make[1]: *** [cvisualmodule.la] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/brad/Download/visual-4.beta16/src'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

The key reason I get this error is this line right here...
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_thread

I looked online saw that I could try --LDFLAGS-L[path],  where path is
the path to libboost_thread.so and libboost_thread.a.  Those files don't
exist on my computer and I have boost-1.34.1-5.fc8 and
boost-devel-1.34.1-5.fc8. I did however find
/usr/lib/libboost_thread-mt.so,
/usr/lib/libboost_thread-mt.so.1.34.1, and /usr/lib/libboost_thread-mt.so.3.

As far as I know (someone correct me if I'm wrong) boost_threads always comes in a `-mt' flavor (I think it's obvious why) so you must use -lboost_thread-mt instead.

Cheers,
