[Boost-users] Problem with program_options.

Dear all,

I have problems with the program_options library. I am using boost 1.33.1  
and gcc 3.2.3, and I notice that there are others with the same problem.  
However, I cannot find a reference to with a solution anywhere.

Stated simply: My programs (even the example programs included with boost  
1.33.1) using program_options do not link!

For example (gcc 3.2.3):

$ g++ -o first.x first.cpp
/tmp/ccM0BLhg.o(.text+0x4a): In function `main':
: undefined reference to  
`boost::program_options::options_description::options_description(std::basic_string<char,  
std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&, unsigned int)'

[ ... and a dozen more similar errors ... ]

(As far as I can see, all header files in boost/program_options/ are  
included in boost/program_options.hpp.)

I would appreciate any help with this.

Regards,
Simen Kvaal.
