You always have to add the directory where they are located.

Check that neither BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB nor BOOST_IOSTREAMS_NO_LIB are defined 
in your source that includes the iostream header.  You could also try 
defining BOOST_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC which will print out which library is being 
selected for autolinking.

There should be settings to disable those somewhere, not sure what they are 
though... and you can RTM as well as me ;-;
