[Boost-users] [serialization] linking issues with 1.33

From: rwm33_at_[hidden]

Hello

When updating libraries from boost 1.32 to 1.33 our previous code that had no previous linking problems developed linking errors. I then attempted to compile the demo.cpp serialization code included in the boost documentation tutorial and received the same errors.

I attach below the code and the error message I got.

I am working on a Linux Gentoo machine with Boost installed by e-portage. I believe boost is properly installed as it works with other libraries.
 
Any suggestion?

Thanks
