You were right. 
It works fine if I use

g++ -ggdb -O3 credit_card_example.cpp -o credit_card_example /usr/local/lib/libboost_regex-gcc41-d-1_39.so

But not with 

g++ -ggdb -O3 credit_card_example.cpp -o credit_card_example -lboost_regex

In my /usr/local/lib directory I find
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       37 Oct 29 17:17 libboost_regex-gcc41-d-1_39.so -> libboost_regex-gcc41-d-1_39.so.1.39.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       37 Oct 29 17:17 libboost_regex-gcc41-d-1_39.so.1 -> libboost_regex-gcc41-d-1_39.so.1.39.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       37 Oct 29 17:17 libboost_regex-gcc41-d-1_39.so.1.39 -> libboost_regex-gcc41-d-1_39.so.1.39.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  6763287 Oct 29 17:17 libboost_regex-gcc41-d-1_39.so.1.39.0

But shouldn't there be a 
libboost_regex.a file  ?

So that I can use 
g++ -ggdb -O3 credit_card_example.cpp -o credit_card_example -L/usr/local/lib/ -lboost_regex 

I bjamed in /usr/include/boost_1_39_0/libs/regex/build (where I unzipped myboost_1_39_0 tarball). 
Then did bjam install.

Shouldn't that put libboost_regex.a in the right location automatically ?

If not what can I do?

I am using BOOST_VERSION 103900  only.

Thanks
