[odb-users] ODB installed from .rpm on Fedora 16 does not function correctly under some circumstances

[Jeff Waller]

The problem, i suspect, is that the odb that comes packaged in the rpm is built using
gcc 4.7.  There is a well known problem with gcc 4.7 and versions of boost prior
to version 1.48 (Fedora 16 has version 1.47).  This causes the build to incorrectly
detect that boost pthread support is not present.  This is not a problem normally
on Fedora 16 because it uses only gcc version 4.6.

if compiled from source, odb functions perfectly fine.
