It does prove something about Boost to me - as soon as I add the Boost
libraries to the above program I get the error, which implies that something
isn't compiled with -fPIC. Since Boost was the only thing added, Boost must
have been compiled without -fPIC.
As previously mentioned, that's just
$ g++ -fPIC -c -o main.o main.cpp -I/usr/include/boost-1_37/ && g++ -o
test.so main.o -shared
This works since main.cpp is being compiled to main.o with PIC. However,
Boost is not involved here so it proves nothing about Boost.

I have Boost installed on my system as a shared library, so I don't
understand why libtool/gcc won't link to it.
Hmm okay, I think I've just discovered why - it seems my local installation of
Boost was compiled without the -fPIC flag, as I have problems even with
trivial compiles, without usin

Hi Ralf,
Thanks for your reply, and sorry about taking so long to follow up!

Hi all,
I've decided to bite the bullet and finally learn how to use autoconf, and so
far I seem to be doing okay except for the final step in the build process.
I'm trying to create a shared library, and some code in the library uses
Boost. Since users of my library do not have to use Boost
