[boost] Header error using boost.regex 1.32 built using vc6

Hi Folks,

I'm a newbie gingerly moving over from MFC.  I have built and installed 
regex from the boost_1_32_0 package without any obvious problem.  Now I've 
included the simplest use of regex taken from the overview and:
a) I get a compile error in regbase.hpp.  As a temporary workaround I've 
tried using V3 instead and:
b) I get a link error (debug & release)

Can someone help me overcome this please?  Many thanks.

I have:
#include <boost/cregex.hpp>
//#define BOOST_REGEX_V3
#include <boost/regex.hpp>
using namespace boost;
...
 // regexp test
 const std::string s = "sdflsjhslad";
 static const boost::regex e("(\\d{4}[- ]){3}\\d{4}");
 if (regex_match(s, e))
   ASSERT(true);
 else;
   ASSERT(true);
...

which gives the following:

Compiling...
StdWbApp.cpp

and if I use V3 I get the link errors:
