Any resolution on this?  I have the same issue.  It appears to me to be a configure
bug.  Obviously there's no library file called lib_thread-lib_thread (a multithreaded
file name? :)).

Actually, I run:
./configure --with-boost-thread=boost_thread-gcc42-mt COMPILED_BY="yadda@yadda.com"
--prefix=/usr/local

And I get:
configure: error: Could not link against boost_thread-boost_thread-gcc42-mt !
