[Boost-users] Debian-Boost linking errors in Cleversafe project

From: Matt England (mengland_at_[hidden])

(This msg is getting cross-posted to the Boost and Debian users' lists.  I 
hope that's ok.)

Summary:

Our builds are experiencing link-time problems with Boost libraries only on 
Debian systems.  Details below.

Does anyone have any suggestions on the root causes and fixes for this?  If 
not, possibly other things we can do to better determine what's causing 
these symptoms?

Details:

We experience link-time errors on some Debian systems when linking against 
boost libraries that are built from the same automated source procedure (as 
per <http://svn.cleversafe.org/dscore/trunk/>) as the binary that links 
against them.  Since our software and the Boost software/libs are all 
"built from source" using the same compiler/tools, we hope that we are 
removing any compatibility problems like C++ ABI incompatibilities between 
g++ revs (<http://autopackage.org/apbuild-apgcc.php#cxx>), etc.  Details here:

Would anyone have any suggestions/pointers for help?

For details on how to build our stuff from source, see:

Note that we don't experience these errors when building on other systems, 
including the CentOS system detailed here:
