OK, guess this is just due to the pov-team only officially supporting 
boost 1.37 and not 1.38. I removed all the 1.38 files that were built 
from source, and installed 1.37 from pacman (the ArchLinux repository 
system), and it worked fine only having to change the name of the thread 
library to boost_thread-mt.

Guess this whole thread can be ignored now, or maybe just as a caution 
to not use 1.38.
