Hi,

I am trying to use the regex library  (regex_match in particular)
I included "boost/regex.hpp".  I get the following errors when compiling 
my code.

g++ -W -Wall -Wpointer-arith -O3 -g -pipe    -D_REENTRANT 
-DACE_HAS_AIO_CALLS -D_GNU_SOURCE   -I/usr/local/ACE_wrappers 
-DACE_HAS_EXCEPTIONS -D__ACE_INLINE__ -I/usr/local/ACE_wrappers 
-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/boost-1_31 -DACE_NTRACE=1 
-D__USE_REG_EXPR  -c -o .obj/FTP_Task.o FTP_Task.cpp
In file included from /usr/local/include/boost-1_31/boost/cregex.hpp:30,

                 from FTP_Task.h:19,
                 from FTP_Task.cpp:1:
/usr/local/include/boost-1_31/boost/regex/v4/cregex.hpp:75: error:

make[1]: *** [.obj/FTP_Task.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/bipuser/nBIP-9.0/src'
make: *** [NBIP] Error 2

Can sme please shed some light on the problem.  I am only using the 
regex_match function.  I create an expression object, and use 
regex_match to match against it.

Thanks in advance for any help.
