Help on linking?

I'm trying to build Visual on Ubuntu (10.10) for Python 3.1, where the
standard Python is Python 2.6, and the Boost 1.42 libraries are
installed for this version of Python.

I've built the Boost 1.43 libraries for Python 3.1 and placed in my
own space the Boost folder of include files and, in a folder beside
the include files, the boost_python, boost_signals, and boost_thread
libraries. I altered the make file to specify linking these libraries
from my own directory rather than from the standard locations, as
follows:

ld ..... --library-path=mylibs -lboost_python -lboost_signals
-lboost_thread ....

What happens when I build looks like I'm linking against the
Ubuntu-installed libraries for Python 2.6, because when I try to run
Visual, I get an import error referring to
/usr/lib/libboost_python-py2.6.so.1.42.0, which is of course missing a
needed symbol.

Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks.
