i have some problem with my boost library. i m using freebsd and installed my boost using ports. Boost version is : 1.45 and i use g++47 as compiler. Also i have never defined BOOST DISABLE THREADS at there : /usr/local/include/boost/config/user.hpp .Also exactly my error is :

 /usr/local/include/boost/config/requires_threads.hpp:29:4: error: #error "Threading    support unavaliable: it has been explicitly disabled with BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS"

explicitly but where ?? And my compile command;

 g++47 -O3 -Wall -std=c++0x   -I. -Iinclude -I../include -I/usr/local/include   -c -o     Application.o src/Application.cpp

Thanks

The experimental GCC version 4.7 disables Boost.Threads. See: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6165

Edit: It should be noted that as of the release version of GCC 4.7, and Boost higher than 1.48 (Boost_1_48_0 is still not working), threads works again.
