[Solved] Building a C++ projects using Boost

Question

I have installed
extra/boost 1.52.0-1
extra/boost-libs 1.52.0-1
with pacman.
I'm trying to build autotools C++ projects (two disctincts project by the same authors are given the same problem) which make use of parts of the Boost library. They have been successfully tested and build under Ubuntu 12.04. with installed libboost-all-dev package. With ArchLinux ./configure works out fine and the compilation process (make) seems to work, too. Nevertheless, there seems to be a problem with the linking:
libtool: link: g++ -g -O2 -Wall -Wextra -o ssbmc smtparser.o ...
../contrib/cudd 2.4.2/obj/.libs/libobj.a ...
-lboost_program_options-mt -lboost_iostreams-mt -lgmp -lgmpxx -lm -lz
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_program_options-mt
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_iostreams-mt
Any ideas why it fails? The headers seems to be there since the source makes use of Boost library functions and compiling the files does not fail.

Answer 1

The libraries are there:
$ ls /usr/lib/ | grep program
libboost_program_options.a
libboost_program_options.so
libboost_program_options.so.1.52.0
$ ls /usr/lib/ | grep iostreams
libboost_iostreams.a
libboost_iostreams.so
libboost_iostreams.so.1.52.0
Do they have to be renamed?
