Hi

I was trying to build a static version of the regex library (boost 
1.39), issuing this command:

./bjam --build-dir=build_static --layout=system threading=single 
runtime-link=static link=static

but I always get this error:

error: link=shared together with runtime-link=static is not allowed
error: such property combination is either impossible
error: or too dangerious to be of any use

but why is it trying to use link=shared when I explicitly specified 
link=static?

thanks in advance
        Lorenzo
