Not exactly, it almost compiles but sure does not link !
You must use a linker path option in your build command, otherwize there 
is no way the compiler/linker can find the proper files
if you don't use a Boost installation in some standard /usr location:

Typically, before compiling, a nice thing to setup in your *nix 
environment is (here for a sh-flavor shell):

# the Boost include path :
export BOOST_CFLAGS=-I<path_to_the_boost_include_base_directory>

# the Boost lib path :
export BOOST_LDFLAGS=-L<path_to_the_boost_libs_base_directory> \
   -lserialization

# Also add the DLL path for runtime DLL resolution :
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=\
   <path_to_the_boost_libs_base_directory>:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

# Build it :
g++ -Wall -pedantic -g -O3 -DDEBUG -march=native -std=c++0x \
   ${BOOST_CFLAGS}-o p1 p1.cxx ${BOOST_LDFLAGS}

# Run :
./p1
