[Boost-users] Unresolved symbols to ~archive_pointer_oserializer using serialization

Hi,

I am in the progress of upgrading a project from boost 1.34.0 to 1.35.0. 
As far as I can see no changes have been made to the Serialization 
library. But I am having trouble with it.

-I build boost using ./configure and using the with-libraries option to 
built the serialization library, besides others as a shared library
-I am using g++ 4.2.3 on Ubuntu 8.04

Using BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_GUID I am making my classes known to the 
serialization library. For serialization I am using 
boost::archive::polymorphic_binary_oarchive. This all worked with 
1.34.0. Now I am getting strange linker errors. I do have 
-lboost_serialization on the linker command. When I uncomment all 
BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_GUID commands my compilation works.
Following are the linker errors:

Any help is appreciated as I am slightly going nuts :)
