I have a 64 bit red hat linux (also 64 bit) box.

1) I downloaded boost from

boost_1_34_1.tar.bz2

2) Unizipped and installed it (./configure , make install ) everything worked fine.

Questions:

1) How do I check if I now have the 64 bit version of boost?

2) I see that all libraries were put into /usr/local/lib and I can compile my hello world code with the following command…

· $ g++ hello.cpp -lboost_thread-gcc41-mt-1_34_1

but when I try to run the created a.out file I get a file not found error msg…

· $ ./a.out

· ./a.out: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_thread-gcc41-mt-1_34_1.so.1.34.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I did an ldd and this is the output…

            $ ldd a.out

        libboost_thread-gcc41-mt-1_34_1.so.1.34.1 => not found

        libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x0000003a6aa00000)

        libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x0000003a5a400000)

        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x0000003a68600000)

        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x0000003a5a000000)

        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000003a59c00000)

I am stuck and cannot make progress. I appreciate any help on this.

Thanks
