When I try to compile a file that includes <boost/regex.hpp> I get the
following error:

This is how I'm compiling:

# g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.  `mysql_config --include` `mysql_config
--cflags` -std=c++0x   -g -O2 -MT
# myproject-main.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/myproject-main.Tpo -c -o
myproject-main.o `test -f 'src/main.cpp'
# || echo './'`src/main.cpp

Basically, the compile errors trace back to when I include boost/regex.hpp:
|    #include <boost/regex.hpp>

Any ideas why this occurs? Maybe it's because I'm not including
-lbooost_regex as a compile option? I specified it as my
"myproject_LDADD" macro in Makefile.am so I assume g++ knows when to use it.

Thanks. Sorry for the lengthy email.
