There are two obvious questions:

1) Have you included the boost_filesystem library on your linker command 
line.
2) If you have, does it occur *after* the .cpp files that use it (this is a 
gcc requirement).

Those are the most common newbe issues, but if you're not a newbe, my 
apologies :-)

HTH, John.
