[Boost-users] [File System] unresolved symbol unsigned int boost::filesystem::detail::not_found_error after upgrade from boost 1_34_0 to 1_34_1

After upgrading from Boost 1.34.0 to 1.34.1, I get the Visual Studio 2005
error and building my project:

Error	805	error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "unsigned int
boost::filesystem::detail::not_found_error"
(?not_found_error_at_detail@filesystem_at_boost@@3IA)	FolderProcessing.obj

I have isolated the error to the declaration:

       boost::filesystem::directory_iterator it(folder);

Using boost 1_34_0 the above declaration worked and with 1_34_0 it fails. 

I have copied the installed boost 1.34.1  (from Boost Consulting)

       C:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_34_1 

to my project folder

       C:\projects\ardev\CurrentDev\ExternalLibs\boost 

where I copied the new boost 1_34_1 release over top the 1_34_0 release. All
references to 1_34_0 libraries have been changed to 1_34_1 libraries:

...
boost_signals-vc80-mt-gd-1_34_1.lib
boost_thread-vc80-mt-gd-1_34_1.lib
boost_filesystem-vc80-mt-gd-1_34_1.lib
