Hi there,
      I am a beginner using boost. I am installing boost 1.40 on
windows XP with sp3 and Visual Studio Standard 2008. I followed the
"Getting Started on Windows"  section 5.2   "Or, Simplified Build From
Source. to build my binaries". i.e.

bootstrap
.\bjam

I then tried to run the example in section 6:Link Your Program to a
Boost Library.
I got expected results when link from the IDE, however, I can't link
under command prompt, here's the output I got when compiling:
******************************************************************************

boostBinaryLibExamp.obj
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_regex-vc90-mt-s-1_40.lib'

I searched in the lib directory, there's no such file there. But why I
can link from IDE but not in command prompt?
btw, the boostPro installer only has version 1.39, right? I want to use 1.40.

Thanks,
Neil
