Hey,

Have you compiled Cinder as a shared lib ( i.e `cmake .. -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=1` ) by any chance? This error will pop usually when trying to build Cinder as a shared lib on Linux where the boost precompiled libs that ship with Cinder should be re-compiled with the `-fPIC` flag.

In any case I would suggest to try and install a system wide version of `boost-system` and `boost-filesystem` with pacman, completely remove the boost submodule that comes with Cinder and is located under the include dir and then reconfigure and build Cinder with `cmake .. -DCINDER_BOOST_USE_SYSTEM=1 && make`.

HTH,  
Petros
