[Boost-users] Issue linking to static boost thread library (Newbie)

From: Forever Kid (foreverkid3_at_[hidden])

I am having a little trouble getting boost to load the
static thread library.

For some reason it wants to load the dynamic library
instead of the static boost_thread library.

Everything compiles and builds, but I get a message
that it can't find the shared library, when I really
want it linked statically. (see below)  

What did I miss?

Thanks much for any help,
Graham

Boost version: 1.33.1
OS: Linux 2.6
Compiler: GCC 4.1.1

Compiler command line (debug):
g++ -I/home/quirk/dev/libraries/boost_1_33_1/ -O0 -g3
-Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -pthread -MMD -MP
-MF"main.d" -MT"main.d" -o"main.o" "../main.cpp"

Linker command line (debug):
g++ -L/home/quirk/dev/libraries/boost_1_33_1/stage/lib
-o"ManagedMakeProject"  ./main.o  -lpthread
-lboost_thread-gcc-mt-d-1_33_1

Code:
#include <cstdio>
#include "boost/thread/thread.hpp"

void foo()
{
    printf("Hello MT World\n");
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
        printf("Hello World\n");
    boost::thread aThread(foo);
    aThread.join();
    return 0;
}

Output:
error while loading shared libraries:
libboost_thread-gcc-mt-d-1_33_1.so.1.33.1: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
