Re: R_X86_64_32S error building a shared library

x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
.../lib64/libboost_system-mt-1_37.a(error_code.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S
against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a  shared object;

You do not need to have boost available as a shared library.

Sorry Jan, I don't understand - how can I link my library in with the user's 
local installation of Boost if it's not available as a shared library?

Thanks,
Adam.
