I am trying to compile some code into a dynamic library and I am  
getting the following linker errors:

This is on OS X 10.4.11 with Intel C++ compiler version 10.1.007.  
Maybe I am not using the boost file_system library correctly?

A simple reproducible case is to just try to create a library  
containing any code that includes boost/filesystem/operations.hpp.

The same code works on gcc on OS X 10.4.11 (Xcode 2.5 tool set)
