It's not a bad design to use Boost libraries, since they are considered
the best supported tools for connecting between Python and C++. They
are a well-supported extension to the C++ standard libraries, and they
contain possible candidates for future inclusion in the standard
libraries. It's the responsibility of each Linux distribution to
provide these libraries, as many applications depend on them. If the
Boost libraries are defective or incomplete, the place to complain is
wherever there are discussions of the provided packages on a particular
Linux distribution. <br>
<br>
Of course it is possible that there's something wrong with the Visual
build procedure, so it isn't certain that the Fedora 9 Boost libraries
are defective. But it's a possible diagnosis, since compilation works
on other Linux distributions.<br>

I expect the same issue with boost on Fedora 9 as there is a missing
libboost_thread, only libboost_thread-mt and friends.
In FC7 there was libboost_thread.a and friends.

Me neither! I don't want to know, but VPython depends on it.
Bad design :)?

Maybe somebody in the VPython community can pick this up?
