Exactly the way you've written: add "-lboost_system -lboost_thread" to 
the command line. If you installed Ubuntu's boost-all-dev package the 
libraries should already be under /usr/li where linker will find t hem;; 
if not add -L<path-to-directory-containing-libraries> to tell the linker 
where the libraries are.
