I have brought this up with upstream. Please see the thread here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/28950 and the bug report here: http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1094 Apparently, the library naming scheme on Linux should be layout=system, which uses the simple and expected naming scheme. I haven't yet seen this documented, however. This solves GNU/Linux software library naming for linking, but does not fix it for true cross-platform use. The above thread and bug report propose a solution for that as well. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
