Re: [boost] compiling Boost boost_1_45_0 regex with icu (redhat).Aproblem and its fix.

I think this may best be solved by the user adding linkflags=-ldl to the command line.

Thanks, John. That worked for me.

I am curious, why is the file icu-i18n.pc file (shown below) not yielding the -ldl flag. Is there a way to debug this. I am new to this.

Not sure I follow - that file will be used when you build ICU, but not by Boost.Build when you build regex, so all you can really do in that case is use it as a reference to see what libs are required by an ICU static lib. Of course if you use ICU as a shared lib then none of this is relevant since the .so is already linked against all it needs. John.
