I'm a newbee of C++. I want to make a web client with boost libraries.
I have ubuntu (libboost1.46-dev) and I follow the example that appear
in boost web page:

[...code...]

but I receive these errors:

/tmp/cc-u4FMYi.o: In function `__cxx_global_var_init1':
b.cpp:(.text+0x57): undefined reference to
`boost::system::generic_category()'
[...more errors...]

What can I do?
This bunch of errors overpasses me ;-)

Do what I do in a situation like this (when there are too many errors):
deal with the first one and compile again. Undefined reference is most
likely due to the inability of your linker to locate the library where
the symbol is defined. Did you give the compiler the location of the
library where boost parts live? If you did, check it. If you didn't,
try again.

In general those things are not mistakes you made in your C++ code, but
mistakes in installing some third-party components or mistakes in using
the tools (the compiler in our case). Both are pretty much off-topic
here. So, make sure you install Boost correctly and tell the compiler
where your installation of Boost is. How? I don't know. It's actually
beyond the scope of comp.lang.c++

Good luck!
