Dear All,
        
        I got a trouble with boost::serialization library and need your
        help.
        
        1) I am working with FC4 on my laptop. GCC 4.0.2 is known handle
        this library pretty well according to yesterdays's report.
        http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs/cs-Linux.html
        
        2) try to test the basic sample obtained on webpage posted by
        Jeff
        Cogswell:
        
        #include <fstream>
        #include <iostream>
        //#include <boost/serialization/base_object.hpp>
        #include <boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp>
        #include <boost/archive/detail/basic_iarchive.hpp>
        #include <boost/archive/text_iarchive.hpp>
        #include <boost/serialization/utility.hpp>
        #include <boost/serialization/access.hpp>
        using namespace std;
        
        class Vertex {
        private:
          friend class boost::serialization::access;
          template<class Archive>
          void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version)
          {
            ar & x;
            ar & y;
          }
          double x;
          double y;
        public:
          Vertex() {} // Serialization requires a default constructor
          Vertex(double newX, double newY) : x(newX), y(newY) {}
          double getX() const { return x; }
          double getY() const { return y; }
          void dump() {
            cout << x << " " << y << endl;
          }  
        }; 
        
        int main()
        {
                Vertex v1(1.5, 2.5);
                std::ofstream ofs("myfile.vtx");
                boost::archive::text_oarchive oa(ofs);
                oa << v1;
                ofs.close();
                return 0;
        }
        
        3) try to compile and link it by the following command:
        
                 g++ -lboost_serialization testoa.cpp -otestoa
        and got a bunch of errors.
        
        4)  The errors looks as this:

        5) Another compile and link issue was talked about on boost
        user-list half a year
        ago(http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2005/05/11624.php)
        However, I could not decipher the my correct answer from that.
        My error looks different from the errors posted there. 
        
        6) Thanks in advance for your time and help with this issue. I
        think I might miss some basic points on this library.
