Compiling boost::thread with Eclipse

I am using Ubuntu + Eclipse and installed boost(not sure correct). I installed Boost using apt-get install libboost*

I tested some simple code, it seems the boost working right.

However, when I try to learn the thread part, the code below does not work. 

#include <boost/thread/thread.hpp> 
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void hello()
{
   cout<<"hello!"<<endl;
}   

int main()
{
    boost::thread thrd(&hello);
    cout<<"Just a test!"<<endl;
}

The error information is as follow, there are 4 errors.

Severity and Description Path Resource Location Creation Time Id
/usr/local/include/boost/thread/detail/thread.hpp undefined reference to `boost::detail::thread_data_base::~thread_data_base()'  FirstCppProject line 40 1260656497961 200

/usr/local/include/boost/thread/detail/thread.hpp undefined reference to `boost::thread::start_thread()'  FirstCppProject line 191 1260656497967 202

/usr/local/include/boost/thread/pthread/thread_data.hpp undefined reference to `vtable for boost::detail::thread_data_base'  FirstCppProject line 65 1260656497965 201


Severity and Description Path Resource Location Creation Time Id
undefined reference to `boost::thread::~thread()' FirstCppProject test.cpp line 15 1260656497959 199

Please forgive me if my question is too naive. Please offer any information you think might help me out.

With Boost sometimes you just need to tell your linked where the libraries are and it will figure out which one to link against.
