[Boost-users] Linker error when using boost::wregex (MSVC)

Hi,

I'm trying to use the regex library (from boost 1.33) with the MSVC.NET
2003 and I'm getting the following linker error when using the wide
character version of the classes:

libboost_regex-vc71-mt-1_33_1.lib(usinstances.obj) : error LNK2005:
"public: static bool __cdecl std::char_traits<unsigned
short>::eq(unsigned short const &,unsigned short const &)"
(?eq@?$char_traits_at_G@std@@SA_NABG0_at_Z) already defined in
msvcprt.lib(MSVCP71.dll)
libboost_regex-vc71-mt-1_33_1.lib(usinstances.obj) : error LNK2005:
"public: static unsigned int __cdecl std::char_traits<unsigned
short>::length(unsigned short const *)"
(?length@?$char_traits_at_G@std@@SAIPBG_at_Z) already defined in
msvcprt.lib(MSVCP71.dll)

Declaring a single wregex object is enough to get the error. Everything
works fine for regular regex objects (using regular std::strings.)

Any ideas how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Saludos!
Fernando.
