However, on linux, the regex functions don't work don't work for some reason. I reinstalled the latest version of the Boost libraries and everything seems fine (ie, I tried the graph container and it works great). I tried both on SuSe linux 10.2 and Ubuntu with gcc 4.1.2 and the latest Boost libs 1.33.1 but it fails at compile time. At first I thought I was doing something wrong, but then I tried both the examples provided in the Boost documentation and other examples/tutorials on Boost::regex on the net (ie ,the ones on OnLAMP of O'Reilly and others) and they fail too with the same error(s):
"boost_regexp.o: In function `boost::basic_regex<char, boost::regex_traits<char, boost::cpp_regex_traits<char> >

The error message you give is from the linker not the compiler: it occurs because you haven't chosen to include the regex binaries in your application. Depending upon how the binaries were built and installed, then appending -lboost_regex to your build command may do the trick. John.
