[Boost-users] problems linking libraries in debian linux

I followed the instructions in the getting started guide but I am still having troubles with getting the libraries linked. In the guide the way it shows to compile the second program is like this:

$ c++ -I path/to/boost_1_35_0 example.cpp -o example \
   -L~/boost/lib/ -lboost_regex-gcc34-mt-d-1_35

Here is how I translated that to my system:

$ g++ -I /usr/local/include/boost_1_35/ boostTest2.cpp -L/usr/local/lib/ -lboost_regex-gcc41-mt

But when I run this I get this error:
zach_at_debian:~/code$ ./a.out < jayne.txt
./a.out: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_regex-gcc41-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This file does exist, here is the listing of my /usr/local/lib directory:

I know this is probably a linux problem and not a boost problem, but I cannot figure it out. Any ideas?
