Package: libboost-serialization-dev<br>Version: 1.33.1-10<br>Severity: important<br><br>This package is missing the shared libraries, because of which linking fails. I issue the following command:<br><br> g++ main.cc
Someclass.cpp -lboost_serialization<br><br>and the linker gives an 'undefined reference' error about methods relating to std::rb_tree. <br><br>The orignal source distribution from <a href="http://boost.org">boost.org
</a> has both static and shared (libboost_serialization-*-d-*.a) libraries. Upon using the shared libraries obtained from <a href="http://boost.org">boost.org</a>, the program compiles, links and works without any problem!
<br><br>Why are the shared libraries are not in the package? Is it an oversight or is itremoved for some reason?<br><br><br>-- System Information:<br>Debian Release: testing/unstable<br> APT prefers testing<br> APT policy: (500, 'testing')
