hi Volodya,

1) > Does anything in your linker line call for boost.system to be included?
Not that I know / How can I find out that? At the moment I am executing the
cmd (s. below) directly from the cmdline within the directory where the src
is located.

2) > Why are you including boost.filesystem twice in the linker command
line? Try using just -lboost_filesystem-xgcc40-mt-1_36.
I get the same error when I just use -lboost_filesystem-xgcc40-mt-1_36 (see
below).

g++ -I /usr/local/include/boost-1_36/ FinancialEvent.cpp Trade.cpp Quote.cpp
FileHandler.cpp FEventsPerMin.cpp FEventsPerDay.cpp FEventsPerStock.cpp
FEventHandler.cpp Average.cpp AvgAndStdDev.cpp MainPgm.cpp -o
realDataHandler.exe -L~/boost/lib/ -lboost_iostreams-xgcc40-mt
-lboost_filesystem-xgcc40-mt-1_36 -dynamic

3) > Can you run ldd ~/boost/lib/libboost_filesystem-xgcc40-mt-1_36.so
should I execute the cmd
ldd ~/boost/lib/libboost_filesystem-xgcc40-mt-1_36.so
at a special location or just from anywhere within the cmd-line?
If I execute it from anywhere I get the following...
mtec-hg-docking-1-dhcp-232:RealDataHandler JuWie$ ldd
~/boost/lib/libboost_filesystem-xgcc40-mt-1_36.so
-bash: ldd: command not found
