>I copied libboost_regex.a to the /lib directory of my Cygwin 
installation. I suspect there's a problem finding the libraries when 
I compile, but being a bit of a newbie at this, I don't know where to 
start.

gcc doesn't support "automatic linking" in the way that VC6 does, you need
to add any needed libraries to the command line - in this case "g++ -o
myfile myfile.cpp  -lboost_regex" should do the job.
