[Boost-users] problems compiling example files

I suppose, it's a begginer's linux problem but I didn't found the answer 
neither in the documentation nor in the internet forums...

After installing boost on my system (see how at the end of this email),
I wanted to compile simple_ls.cpp, the filesystem example.
everything works when creating the .o but when linking a lot of 
undefined references arised. What have I done wrong?

g++ -c simple_ls.cpp
[marc_at_localhost ls]$ g++ -c simple_ls.cpp
[marc_at_localhost ls]$ ls
ls/  simple_ls.cpp*  simple_ls.o
[marc_at_localhost ls]$ g++ simple
simple_ls.cpp  simple_ls.o
[marc_at_localhost ls]$ g++ simple_ls.cpp -o simple_ls

thank you in advance again.
