Hi
I just tried to reinstall the library as you said through my packet manager with the reinstallation option (I didn't delete and then reinstall them).
But it's still not working.
I looked in /usr/lib and i found a lot of *.a, *.so and *.O files.
For examples : libboost_filesystem-mt.a, libboost_filesystem-mt.so, libboost_filesystem-mt.O, libboost_thread-mt.a, libboost_thread-mt.so, libboost_thread-mt.O.
It looks Ok to me but I'm not a specialist but the .O files look like binaries....
Is it possible to find a way around and indicate the direct path to the binaries ?
Thanks for the help.

If you're lucky, it's just a matter of the package manager not doing
things in the order that gets those symlinks set up properly, meaning
it's a place where uninstalling all the boost libs, then reinstalling
actually has a decent chance of working.

The various packages for different distros often do things differently
from the official ways, though, so it's hard to say.  Check your
/usr/lib folder and see what binaries you actually have.
