GCC C++ Linker/Libraries

Under libraries(-I) I have
libbost_system
libbost_filesystem
…
and under Library search path(-L) I have
/home/etobkru/boost_1_43_0/boostBinaries/lib

but when I compile I get
g++ -L/home/etobkru/boost_1_43_0/boostBinaries/lib/ -o”searchDirs” ./main.o -llibboost_system -llibboost_filesystem -llibboost_regex
/usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.1.2/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -llibboost_system

I have tried with libbost_system.so and libbost_system.a but i get the same error. What am I doing wrong and why cant eclipse find the files. Because they are there?

    You don’t need the “lib” part in the name. Just link with

    -lboost_system -lboost_filesystem -lboost_regex
