I also tried this:

none worked. I have an updated boost 1_49_0 under ubuntu 11.10
hangman is not a single file example; the linker complains on a symbol that is defined in a different source (.C) file. I'm not familiar with the ubuntu install, but I guess it includes a CMakeLists.txt file that properly builds the example. If this assumption is right, you have to use cmake to create a Makefile, and then run make.
