Question

I want to use boost::thread_specific_ptr but need to know what to add to my gcc v3.4.6 link line to define what it uses:

/usr/include/boost/thread/tss.hpp:35: undefined reference to `boost::thread_resource_error::thread_resource_error()'

What should I be linking in to define all of these?

On my Ubuntu system I use -lboost_thread (since libboost_thread.so is already in my /usr/lib I don’t need any -L options).
