Hi All, I started on boost today and wrote my first hello world application…

#include <boost/thread/thread.hpp>

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void hello_world()

{

cout << "Hello world, I'm a thread!" << endl;

}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])

{

boost::thread my_thread(&hello_world);

my_thread.join();

return 0;

}

I compiled it using the command… g++ helloworld.cpp -lboost_thread-gcc41-mt-1_34_1

However, when I try to run it, I keep getting a segmentation fault. I tried to debug with gdb and this is what I get…

(gdb) run

Starting program: boost_test/a.out

(no debugging symbols found)

[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]

Please let me know as to what I am doing wrong. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
