Please just use Boost.Regex. Don't use xpressive with the sun compiler,
and don't bother filing a bug about it. The problem is with sun's
compiler -- it is far too broken to handle xpressive.

Yes, I'm sorry that I'm a newb at managing Boost issues like this. I found later that there had been a bug filed for this exact thing today, and that the bug had been closed as not-my-problem.

The thing is that I'm not trying to use xpressive; graph is. I can't control what graph decides that it wants to do.

The somewhat annoying thing about it is that without omitting graph from the build, it just fails. Fortunately, I have no interest in graph, so I just omitted it. It would be kind of nice from the perspective of the user if graph would realize that it was attempting the impossible and that graph would just automatically be eliminated from the build with an appropriate warning. That kind of internal understanding of what was being attempted would have saved me many wasted hours. But I'm aware that saving me wasted time is not a high priority for you guys. :)

Thanks for the attention that you all have given to this problem,
Will
