[openvrml-develop] Build error - cannot find -lboost_thread

[Ben H. <ben...@sh...>]

Hi,

I am still having problems building openVRML from source. When I rum 
'make' things go well for a while, until it gets to one command where 
the compilation hangs for literally hours, after which the compiler 
returns an error saying that it cannot find -lboost_thread (see below).

In trying to fix this problem I have re-installed the boost libraries, 
but this seemed to make no difference. Do you have any ideas as to what 
the problem might be?

Thanks.
