You should have both library files, libboost_regex-vc71-mt-1_34_1.lib is for 
linking against the *release dll runtime*, while 
libboost_regex-vc71-mt-sgd-1_34_1.lib is for when you are linking against 
the *debug static VC runtime*.

Did you download and install all the VC71 binaries offered to you?

HTH, John.
