[Boost-users] Missing libboost_random ?

All,

I'm trying to use some of the functions in the boost random library. I
get linking errors on:

undefined reference to
`boost::random_device::random_device(std::basic_string<char,
std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&)'

It turns out I do not find any libboost_random.so and none of the
installed library has the symbol random_device. Are they missing? Are
we not yet supposed to use Boost.Random ?

This is the case with both the libraries provided by my distribution
(both gentoo and fedora core) as well as a CVS snapshot that I
compiled myself. Where are they ?

Regards,
koen
