I tried to compile the most recent unix source today (the package and 
source are both b29 even though the main beta page says the source is 
for 31), and can't seem to get it the configure script to find the boost 
libraries.
I'm running a fully updated ArchLinux system, and I installed boost 1.37 
from the official package manager, and configure failed at checking for 
exit in boost_thread-lboost_thread.
I then installed boost 1.38 from source, (after removing it with the 
package manager), and got the same error. I tried the config option 
'--with-boost-thread=libboost_thread_gcc43-mt' because that is the name 
of the library on my system, but it still doesn't work.
Do I need to have the location of the libraries in my $PATH or 
something? They are all in the standard /usr/local/lib/, so I didn't 
expect it to be weird.

Thanks for any help!
Chris

(I can provide a config.log file if needed, but won't put it inline here)
