Hi John,<br>Thanks for the reply, I&#39;ve already changed my code to use regex.h from standard C library and it&#39;s working so I&#39;ll stick with it now.<br>I never knew about that option and always just compiled with default library. It may explain why my 3 or 4 attempts to use Boost have never worked. I&#39;ll give it another try when I have some spare time.<br>
<br>Thanks again, Colin<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Feb 20, 2009 at 1:02 AM, John Maddock <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:john@johnmaddock.co.uk">john@johnmaddock.co.uk</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

I&#39;m trying to use Boost regex for the first time and I&#39;m having trouble<br>
getting libboost_regex to link.<br>
<br>
The libraries are in /usr/lib64 and I try adding -lboost_regex to CC command<br>
and also explicitly adding /usr/lib64/libboost_regex.so or .a but I keep<br>
getting the same linker errors whether the library is specified or not.<br>
<br>
I&#39;m using Sun Studio 12.<br>
<br>
What am I doing wrong?<br>

My guess is that you have different compiler options specified for the application you&#39;re building and for the libboost_regex.so, a likely candidate is that bjam will build Boost.Regex with the -library=stlport4 option, where as you&#39;re application isn&#39;t?<br>

<br>
HTH, John.<br>
