 g++ test.cpp -lboost_regex

 results in

 /usr/lib/libboost_regex.so: undefined reference to
 `icu_3_4::Collator::createInstance(icu_3_4::Locale const&, UErrorCode&)'
 /usr/lib/libboost_regex.so: undefined reference to
 `icu_3_4::Locale::Locale()'
 /usr/lib/libboost_regex.so: undefined reference to `u_tolower_3_4'
 /usr/lib/libboost_regex.so: undefined reference to
 `icu_3_4::Locale::~Locale()'
 /usr/lib/libboost_regex.so: undefined reference to `u_isspace_3_4'
 /usr/lib/libboost_regex.so: undefined reference to
 `icu_3_4::Locale::Locale(icu_3_4::Locale const&)'
 /usr/lib/libboost_regex.so: undefined reference to `u_isblank_3_4'
 /usr/lib/libboost_regex.so: undefined reference to `u_digit_3_4'
 /usr/lib/libboost_regex.so: undefined reference to `u_charType_3_4'
 /usr/lib/libboost_regex.so: undefined reference to `u_charFromName_3_4'

 Of course a simple workaround is to use

 g++ test.cpp -lboost_regex -licu, but that linkage should really be in the
 library itself, it makes using it easier and allows prelinking to work
 correctly.
