> I found this issue when I was trying to build Boost from the source distribution.
>    According to Qpid/C++ documentation (refer to INSTALL file) the following command is supposed to build Boost libraries.
>    bjam -sTOOLS=gcc --prefix=~/qpid-tools
>    The generated libraries with this command have the name format <prefix><library name>-<tooset name>-<threading tag>-<ABI tag><version tag><extension>.
> .
>    E.g. libboost_program_options-gcc41-mt-1_34_1.so
>    In Qpid build system, the Boost libs that are linked have the name format <prefix><library name><extension>.
>    The remedy for this issue is twofold.
>    1. Use the following command instead of what is given in the INSTALL file.
>    bjam -sTOOLS=gcc --layout=system --build-type=complete --prefix=~/qpid-tools
>    This generates all possible variants of libs and hence what we want, takes longer time to build the libs though.
>    2. Make use of package management tools to install Boost libs.
>    On Ubuntu, use the following command.
>    sudo apt-get install libboost*-dev
