Hi,

I have recently upgraded to boost 1_46_1 and since then I am experience 
linking problems with the filesystem library.

I have performed a standard install using ./bootstrap.sh; bjam; bjam 
install under Ubuntu 10.04 with the default gcc (4.4.3).
I can boil the problem down to this test program:

#include <boost/filesystem.hpp>
#define BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION 3
#define BOOST_FILESYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED

int main()
{
  boost::filesystem::copy_file("a", "b");
}

compiling this with

g++ test.cpp -lboost_system -lboost_filesystem

results in this error message

/tmp/ccBuSw7s.o: In function 
`boost::filesystem3::copy_file(boost::filesystem3::path const&, 
boost::filesystem3::path const&)':
test.cpp:(.text._ZN5boost11filesystem39copy_fileERKNS0_4pathES3_[boost::filesystem3::copy_file(boost::filesystem3::path 
const&, boost::filesystem3::path const&)]+0x2a): undefined reference to 
`boost::filesystem3::detail::copy_file(boost::filesystem3::path const&, 
boost::filesystem3::path const&, 
boost::filesystem3::copy_option::enum_t, boost::system::error_code*)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I had a look at this thread

http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Filesystem-problems-with-g-std-c-0x-td2639716.html

but adding or removing -std=c++0x does not change anything. I also tried 
to see whether any special compiler options were used during the build 
of boost, so here is the line for operations.hpp

     "g++"  -ftemplate-depth-128 -O3 -finline-functions -Wno-inline 
-Wall -pthread  -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -DBOOST_SYSTEM_STATIC_LINK=1 
-DNDEBUG  -I"." -c -o 
"bin.v2/libs/filesystem/build/gcc-4.4.3/release/link-static/threading-multi/v3/src/operations.o" 
"libs/filesystem/v3/src/operations.cpp"

There is nothing there that strikes me as special, any ideas anyone.

Regards

Max
