VC6 might be too early a compiler to support some of the stuff regex uses (i.e. its non-compliant for some template C++ features)....Does it work with a later compiler?? James

Hi, I would like to use the Boost RegEx Library. Somehow I failed installing it (WinXP, VC6). Is there a step by step instruction to get boost running under this configuration? The steps I took so far: 1) Set the MSDevDir and MSVCDir EnvVars by hand. 2) Compiled BJam and copied it to the boost root. 3) Execute bjam "-sTOOLS msvc" install 4) Set the path for include files and libraries in Tools->Options->Directories to the folder I unzipped Boost to.

Got the following error messages while trying to compile a simple regex example :(

Thanks in advance, Thomas
