[Boost-users] beginners problems linking serialization library

I am having problems linking a program using the serialization library.
   
I have made a small program, considerably simpler than the demo.cpp listed at 
http://www.boost.org/libs/serialization/doc/tutorial.html
and I have also tried linking demo.cpp itself.

My hpp files are in
/home/mshapiro.local/boost/include/boost-1_32/boost/

My libraries are in
/home/mshapiro.local/boost/lib/ 

I have tried linking this code with gcc 3.4.5 on a linux machine using

gcc -I/home/mshapiro.local/boost/include/boost-1_32/ \
-L/home/mshapiro.local/boost/lib/  \
-lboost_serialization-gcc \
demo.cpp

I have tried many variations on this! (For example, I have tried g++ instead 
of gcc, I have tried all variations on the serialization library, such as  
boost_serialization-gcc-d-1_32, etc, I have tried turning off warnings as 
suggested in the compiler specific issues.)  I can compile using the -c flag, 
but I cannot link it.  I get a large number of error messages all of which 
look much like

/tmp/ccuSnkzu.o(.gnu.linkonce.t._ZN5boost7archive18text_oarchive_implINS0_13text_oarchiveEED1Ev+0x51): 
In function 
`boost::archive::text_oarchive_impl<boost::archive::text_oarchive>::~text_oarchive_impl()':
: undefined reference to 
`boost::archive::basic_text_oprimitive<std::basic_ostream<char, 
std::char_traits<char> > >::~basic_text_oprimitive()'

I can find various references to this exact problem in the newsgroups, but can 
find no solution to it.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance,
Michael Shapiro
