When I try to open the qt client it shows this message on terminal:

./bitcoin-qt: symbol lookup error: ./bitcoin-qt: undefined symbol: _ZN5boost10filesystem4path7codecvtEv

I couldn't find any solution googling the message. How do I fix it?

The pre-compiled bitcoin-qt binary that is distributed on bitcoin.org doesn't work on server linux distros like wheezy and CentOS. You can get all the gory details here:

The .static executables in 0.9.1 such as bitcoind.static will work but not the gui version -qt. You will have to compile from source.
