[Boost-users] [Regex]static compilation problems

Dear users,
to start using regular expressions I tried a very simple program only
declaring one regular expression.

#include <boost/regex.hpp>

int main(int , char* [])
{
   boost::regex re("\\d+");
   return 0;
}

Linking and compiling this with the command:

g++ test.cpp -o test -L ~/libs/boost/lib/ -l boost_regex-gcc43-mt

works without problems, but running it then leads to the following:

 error while loading shared libraries:
libboost_system-gcc43-mt-1_37.so.1.37.0: cannot open shared object file:
No such file or directory

But the directory clearly shows its existence:

-rw-rw-r-- 1 engineer engineer 1587006 2008-11-21
07:53 /home/engineer/libs/boost/lib/libboost_regex-gcc43-mt-1_37.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 engineer engineer      38 2008-11-21

-rwxrwxr-x 1 engineer engineer  722184 2008-11-21

lrwxrwxrwx 1 engineer engineer      30 2008-11-21
07:53 /home/engineer/libs/boost/lib/libboost_regex-gcc43-mt.a ->

07:52 /home/engineer/libs/boost/lib/libboost_regex-gcc43-mt.so ->
libboost_regex-gcc43-mt-1_37.so.1.37.0

Then I tried doing the same using static libraries:

g++ -static test.cpp -o test -L ~/libs/boost/lib/ -l
boost_regex-gcc43-mt

but got an extremely long list of errors:

If anyone could point me to a solution of this problem, or give one here
I'd very much appreciate it. Thank you.
Best,
