it worked! Thank you so much Igor.
I changed it this way:
int main(int argc, char* argv[])  
{        
    boost::asio::io_service::work work(io_service);
    boost::thread thrd_io(boost::bind(&boost::asio::io_service::run,
&io_service));       
    boost::thread workerThread(workerFunc);  
...
}

Can I ask why we needed io_service::work? in windows, it did not require it.

Thanks,
mustafa

below is the output after i used it.

$./timer 
main: startup
main: after thrd_io
main: after workerThread
Worker: running
Starting synchronous wait
Finished synchronous wait
Starting asynchronous wait
timer is set to expire at '1336684315'
Finished asynchronous wait
