Anyone else tried building on Ubuntu? I get a weird linker error with the boost_threads library. It has nothing to do with Bitcoin per se, except that the client now uses boost threads and my boost installation is being weird. Can anyone else reproduce while I sit here feeling like an idiot?

It looks like libboostthread is missing. But:
~/dev/bitcoin/trunk$ locate libboost_thread /usr/local/lib/libboost_thread.so /usr/local/lib/libboost_thread.so.1.40.0
