[Boost-users] Link problems with boost.serialization

Now I'm experiencing link problems in attempting to apply 
boost.serialization to my application.

I can avoid them by commenting out the bodies of all my serialize 
methods.  If I leave a simple serialize method intact, I can run the 
sucessfully linked application and produce an archive file.

I am linking to this serialization library:
$BOOST_ROOT/bin/boost/libs/serialization/build/libboost_serialization.a/gcc/release/runtime-link-static/boost_serialization.a

With all serialization uncommented, I get the following link errors:

../../install/libUMLModel.so: undefined reference to 
`boost::archive::detail::archive_pointer_iserializer<boost::archive::binary_iarchive>::archive_pointer_iserializer(boost::serialization::extended_type_info 
const&)'
../../install/libUMLModel.so: undefined reference to 
`boost::serialization::void_downcast(boost::serialization::extended_type_info 
const&, boost::serialization::extended_type_info const&, void const*, bool)'

../../install/libUMLModel.so: undefined reference to 
`boost::archive::detail::basic_iarchive::load_object(void*, 
boost::archive::detail::basic_iserializer const&)'

What is the solution?
