HI,

I had built boost version 1.40 (some time ago) myself with MSVC 2008 
Express, a complete build.
I now wanted to use the regex library; I left the default option of 
statically linking it in (no #define BOOST_REGEX_DYN_LINK) and also 
count on auto-linking (no BOOST_REGEX_NO_LIB).

Using regex_search, I keep getting linker errors:

Error    1    error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol 
"__declspec(dllimport) public: void __thiscall 
std::_Container_base::_Orphan_all(void)const " 
(__imp_?_Orphan_all@_Container_base_at_std@@QBEXXZ) referenced in function 
"public: class std::vector<struct boost::sub_match<char const *>,class

    libboost_regex-vc90-mt-gd-1_40.lib

and some more others.

Me doing something wrong or a boost issue ?
I tried to disable auto-linking and specifiy the lib 
(libboost_regex-vc90-mt-gd-1_40.lib for debug build) myself but it does 
not seem to link it in statically (wants the DLL on startup).

many thanks and best,
Thomas
