I installed Boost via sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev on the most recent version of Ubuntu. Now I want to compile a project that uses the Boost.Serialization library, which needs to be linked.

I've tried many variants of the following, without success:

gcc -I /usr/lib code.cpp -o compiled /usr/lib/libboost_serialization.a

and

gcc -I /usr/lib code.cpp -o compiled -l libboost_serialization

The error message is:

error: ‘split_member’ is not a member of ‘boost::serialization

`

What am I missing?
