Error Compiling EquityOption.cpp

[ruthie-oh]

Hi,

I installed boost and Quantlib on a Unix vmware as the root user. Now,  
I'm trying to compile EquityOption.cpp using this command line:

g++ -o EquityOption EquityOption.cpp -g

-o is for the executable EquityOption and -g is for using it with the  
debugger gdb. What I then get is a long list of errors like so:

: undefined reference to `boost::assertion_failed(char const*, char  
const*, char const*, long)'

const&)':

I am compiling EquityOption.cpp as the root user on my system. Has  
anybody seen this type of error? What should I do?

Hi Ruth,
        that should be:

g++ -o EquityOption EquityOption.cpp -g -lQuantLib

i.e., you have to tell the compiler to link QuantLib with the
executable.

Thanks, Luigi, for your email. Unfortunately, that didn't work either. But I have good news. I know a friend who has used Quantlib. Apparently, all I had to do was to type make EquityOption. I felt really silly when he told me that.
