You also need to link against boost too, as you are using boost's time and date libraries (-lboost_date_time). The reason I know this is because "undefined reference to" means you have asked for a function to be used, but not supplied its definition to the linker.

As an aside, you do realise you are running as root btw? This is normally considered an unusual operating mode, particularly for end-user type functions like compiling.

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask Edward Benson for more information if necessary.
