Comment (by olenz_at_[hidden]):

 I'm using a standard Linux distribution (kubuntu 8.04), and boost 1.35,
 and I do have the same problem, i.e. it is not Windows-specific. The
 static libraries are not built when using the instructions given in the
 "Getting started" documentation:

 http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/more/getting_started/unix-

 variants.html

 Effectively, this means also, that the example from "Build a Simple
 Program Using Boost" does not work, as the static libraries do not exist.
