Linux: C++: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -llibboost_serialization

Question

When I try to build some application with linking boost's library libboost_serialization.so, I have this error message:

/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.6/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -llibboost_serialization
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

This is the output from ldconfig:

linux-rxa13:/usr/lib64 # ldconfig -p | grep serialization
        libboost_wserialization.so.1.46.1 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libboost_wserialization.so.1.46.1
        libboost_wserialization.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libboost_wserialization.so
        libboost_serialization.so.1.46.1 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libboost_serialization.so.1.46.1
        libboost_serialization.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libboost_serialization.so

And this is command line to build test application:

g++ -o "m" m.o -L/usr/lib64 -llibboost_serialization

I've searched for the solution to this problem, but I haven't found it. Thanks!

Don't put in the lib: -lboost_serialization
