Static Compile of Thread Example

I compiled the Boost C++ libraries as follows:

bjam install variant=release link=static threading=multi runtime-link=static

No errors. Then I compiled the following source:

#include <boost/thread/thread.hpp>
#include <iostream>

#define BOOST_THREAD_NO_LIB

void hello() {
  std::cout << "Hello world, I'm a thread!" << std::endl;
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
  boost::thread thrd(&hello);
  thrd.join();
  return 0;
}

Using:

g++ -lboost_thread Thread.cpp

The program compiled and ran fine because the Boost libraries are found in /usr/local/lib. When I removed /usr/local/lib from /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf I ran into the following error (no surpise):

./a.out: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_thread.so.1.41.0: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

How do I compile Thread.cpp linking to Boost statically? I tried the following:

g++ -static -lboost_thread -lpthread Thread.cpp

I have the following Boost libraries installed:

 ldconfig -v | grep boost

I receive the following compile errors:

Any ideas?
