title: Trouble linking libboost libraries to compile sslsniff on RHEL
body: <p>Trying to build <code>sslsniff</code> on a RHEL 5.2 system here. When compiling <code>sslsniff</code> on RHEL I hit the same errors when using <code>libboost</code> packages (from repositories like rpmforge) and compiling <code>libboost</code> from source (which appeared to be successful.) I tried this on a fresh system as well (no previous/failed/garbage installs of <code>libboost</code> etc.)</p>

  <p>Most of them appear related to <code>boost::system</code> so I added <code>-lboost_system</code> to the linker command and got farther:</p>

  <p>Now the errors are related to <code>boost::detail</code> and <code>boost::filesystem::detail</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried using boost 1.35 and 1.42 (latest).</p>
  
  <p>On my own Ubuntu system, I installed the libraries from Ubuntu repositories and I was able to compile+link sslsniff just fine.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
