Many thanks; I *was* missing the obvious. Amongst all of the files I hadn't realised that

[lib 19:55] $ ll *-s.so
ls: cannot access *-s.so: No such file or directory

tells me that there are *no* *-s.so but the expected *-s.a. Not sure why graph-tool was trying to link against this, but that's not for this list.

As an aside, graph-tool linked OK against the system boost which has /usr/lib64/libboost*.so but no static libraries, so I need to work out the CXXFLAGS for the graph-tool build to stop it trying to link with the static library. This all started since graph-tool needs the C++14 extensions and our /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 is too old so I'm (trying to) build all the dependency chain with a locally-built gcc 5.2. Anyhow, that's not for this list.

Thanks again.

  The -s in the name indicates that it links to
the static C++ runtime.  When you're building
a shared library, you need to use a shared
runtime as well.
