Boost won't link

I am on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, and I have g++ working and have downloaded boost a few minutes ago.

I have a very simple cpp file that has #include <boost/thread.hpp> in it. Compiling (running g++ -c -std=c++11 simple.cpp -o simple.o) works, however, linking won't. I tried the following options:

g++ -std=c++11 -lpthread -lboost_system-lboost_thread simple.o -o simple
g++ -std=c++11 -L/usr/bin -L/usr/lib -I/usr/include -lpthread -lboost_system-lboost_thread simple.o -o simple

One thing worthy of mentioning is that /usr/include/boost exists while /usr/lib/boost does not.

I have installed boost using: sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev

The error I get upon linking is:
