I had recently uninstalled the boost rpm and installed Boost like how you did. I had no problems running Boost programs in Eclipse. I didn't add any extra parameters. Just installed boost and ran Boost programs. It works fine.

Tried your program in the vi editor. Commented out everything in main

#include 
#include 

int main() {
    /*boost::filesystem::path path("/Users/schoen"); // random pathname
    bool result = boost::filesystem::is_directory(path);
    printf("Path is a directory : %d\n", result);*/
    return 0;
}

and it still gave this error:

/tmp/cc7TAIYS.o: In function `__static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int)':
test.cpp:(.text+0x29): undefined reference to `boost::system::get_system_category()'
test.cpp:(.text+0x35): undefined reference to `boost::system::get_generic_category()'
test.cpp:(.text+0x41): undefined reference to `boost::system::get_generic_category()'

test.cpp:(.text+0x59): undefined reference to `boost::system::get_system_category()'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I'm puzzled. Boost programs work on my system, but your program's header files itself are giving a problem. I doubt it's a problem with Eclipse. It has to be something else.
