Re: [Boost-users] boost::thread::thread() crashes in pthread_create

Hi Andy,

I think the problem is that you aren't telling GCC that you are
compiling multi-threaded code.

Try:   g++ -pthread -c test.cpp
Then:  g++ -pthread test.o ../boost/stage/lib/libboost_thread-gcc-mt.a

Maybe that will help, 

Good Luck,
- Dave
