Dear boost program(for c++,(or g++)):

  after I download 1.46.1 and try to baseon it to compile a simple 
program from book C++cookbook, at page 447, 12.1 Creating a Thread

----------

// example 12-1. Creating a thread

#include <iostream>

#include <boost/thread/thread.hpp>

#include <boost/thread/xtime.hpp>

struct MyThreadFunc {

  void operator()() {

    // Do something long-running...

  }

} threadFun;

int main() {

  boost::thread myThread(threadFun);  // Create a thread that starts

                                      // running threadFun

  boost::thread::yield();             // give up the main thread's timeslice

                                      // so the child thread can get some work

                                      // done.

  // Go do some other work...

  myThread.join();            // The current (i.e., main) thread will wait

                              // for myThread to finish before it returns

}

I am in Ubuntu linux 10.04, g++ 4.4.3

looking to see any suggestion and thanks a lot in advance, Eric Lin, Us citizen, in Los Angeles
I am glad to meet anyone in Los Angeles on computer science meeting
