sorry, the error msg is:
BoostTest.obj : error LNK2019: missing symbol "void __cdecl boost::re_detail::raise_runtime_error(class _STL::runtime_error const &)"
Errors like this usually arise either because: 1) You haven't defined __STL_DEBUG when building a debug build (the prebuilt lib's do this so you have to in order to link to them). However if this is the case you should have got a #error from the autolinking code telling you of the problem. 2) You're build of Boost did not in fact get built against STLport. Try taking a peek at the symbols defined in the libraries to see if they're using _STL or _STLD names (from STLport) or std:: names (from VC++). Also try building with bjam and the -d2 option so you can see the command lines generated and verify that all the paths are in fact correct. John.
