Well either: the platform has no std::towlower, but I don't actually think 
that is the case, or else STLport isn't importing that symbol into it's own 
namespace (as it should).

If you don't need wide character support then try defining BOOST_NO_WREGEX 
in boost/regex/user.hpp.  Otherwise try adding defining 
BOOST_NO_STDC_NAMESPACE in the same place.

Hope this helps,

John.
