g++ can't find shared library libboost_filesystem.so

Provide the path to the library using -L option.
For example
g++ -o fst boostThread.cpp -lboost_filesystem -L/usr/local/boost-1.34.1/lib

If you don't know where library located try the following commands:
sudo updatedb
locate libboost_filesystem.so

On my system this command produces this output:
krivenok_at_develop2 10:44:55 ~/dev_builds/boost-trunk/boost/date_time $ 
locate libboost_filesystem.so
/usr/local/old_dev/boost-1.34.1/lib/libboost_filesystem.so
/usr/local/dev/boost-1.37.0/lib/libboost_filesystem.so
/usr/lib/libboost_filesystem.so
