I'm getting 2 errors:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_thread-mt

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_program_options-mt

what is the simplest way for me to install -lboost_thread-mt so that i can finish my install of PsMoveInput please note that i need the -lboost_thread-mt and ive tried installing "all boost" which didn't work Ive installed all the others and even read somewhere that the -lboost_thread-mt isnt available and if thats the case is there a archive i can get it from?

Thank you and sorry for my lack of technical terms.

    What version of Ubuntu, and what version of libboost do you have? Have you tried installing the libboost-thread-dev package specifically?

I experienced the same problem on installing Field3D. It seems that the file name is libboost_thread.so instead of libboost_thread-mt.so. So it is a bug and should be handled by changing the term in the source file.

For field 3D, change buildSupport.py. Search for the -mt and remove. Then Scons runs through.
