Hi
I just tried to reinstall the library as you said through my packet manager
with the reinstallation option (I didn't delete and then reinstall them).
But it's still not working.
I looked in /usr/lib and i found a lot of *.a, *.so and *.O files.
For examples : libboost_filesystem-mt.a, libboost_filesystem-mt.so,
libboost_filesystem-mt.O, libboost_thread-mt.a, libboost_thread-mt.so,
libboost_thread-mt.O.
It looks Ok to me but I'm not a specialist but the .O files look like
binaries....
Is it possible to find a way around and indicate the direct path to the
binaries ?
Thanks for the help.
