It can't find libboost_filesystem-gcc42-1_34_1.so
You may create it:
ln -s /usr/lib/libboost_filesystem-gcc42-1_34_1.so.1.34.1
/usr/lib/libboost_filesystem-gcc42-1_34_1.so

Read about -I and -L options in gcc manual page :)

Your program doesn't depend on boost filesystem library.
It depends on boost thread library.
