cannot find -lboost_python after upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10

[Anders Wallin-2]

This example from the tutorial
http://pastebin.ca/1652154

used to compile on my 9.04 system with this makefile:
http://pastebin.ca/1652155

now after the 9.10 upgrade I get:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_python


what could be wrong?
I do have 'libboost-python-dev' installed as well as
'libboost-python1.38.0' and 'libboost1.38-dev'

I think that recent boost packages on ubuntu have added a '-py25' or '-
py26' at the end of the library, essentially providing two libraries  
linked to each of the python versions available on ubuntu.

looking in usr/lib I have at least these, but changing the makefile to
one of these names does not seem to help:
/usr/lib/libboost_python-mt.a
/usr/lib/libboost_python-mt.so
/usr/lib/libboost_python-mt-py25.a
/usr/lib/libboost_python-mt-py25.so
/usr/lib/libboost_python-mt-py25.so.1.38.0
/usr/lib/libboost_python-mt-py26.a
/usr/lib/libboost_python-mt-py26.so
/usr/lib/libboost_python-mt-py26.so.1.38.0
