You must be using an old version of boost.thread. Boost.Thread hasn't
relied on boost.function since v1.35.

Since boost 1.36 you have been able to pass arguments to the thread
constructor:

boost::thread t(func,arg1,arg2);

You can always use boost.bind:

boost::thread t(boost::bind(func,arg1,arg2));

This should work with older versions of boost.thread too.
