I've been trying to build the regex library but failed miserably. The compiler always dies with an error in "regex_traits.hpp" [...] It works if I use the STL supplied by Microsoft.

I don't use STLPort, but you might try a slight modification to boost/config/suffix.hpp. Search for BOOST_NO_STDC_NAMESPACE, and you'll see the line: namespace std { using ::ptrdiff_t; using ::size_t; } Try adding "using ::ctype;" into the list of using declarations. This may not work, though; I don't know if a using declaration can nominate the name of a template. -- Jim
