[Boost-users] Failing to build dynamic regexp libraries on Mac OS X

Building dynamic regular experssion libraries fails on Mac OS X  
Tiger , when attempting to
link against ICU.
I would appreciate any hint on how to fix this.
All the ICU libraries are present in /usr/local/lib,
so I wonder if I need to add -licudata to the build somehow. (As can  
be seen from the build log,
only -licui18n and  -licuuc are added to the command line. (I've  
tried to edit the boost distribution files
that refer to theese flags, to also include -icudata , but the  
command line passed to the tools don't change,
so how do I do it)

./tools/jam/src/bin.macosxppc/bjam -sICU_PATH=/usr/local --user- 
config=user-config.jam
