Daniel, I don't know anything about Darwin, but if you add -d2 to the bjam 
invocation then it'll print the actual command lines used and give you a 
chance to diagnose what's going on (if you're building via configure/make 
then you'll have to edit the makefile to do this).  Actually if you just 
extract the bjam invocation from the makefile and then add the 
options: -d2 -n -a it'll print all the command lines without actually 
building anything.

Also remember that the regex library is "just a bunch of sources", you can 
build it anyway you want using any tool you want (or add the source directly 
to your project if you'd rather).  The source is in libs/regex/src BTW. 
Most other Boost libraries are the same too.

HTH, John.
