In addition to adding the boost root directory to your C++ include path,
you also need to add it to your linker path (and, based on the above, it
*looks* like you haven't).

See if adding the appropriate boost directory where the libs reside to the
linker path helps. Also check to ensure that the above static library is
actually in said path.

Otherwise, I'm pretty bad at diagnosing linking problems :/

HTH,
