Hi, I'm a C++ newbie trying to use the Boost regex libraries. Here's my situation. My system is Red Hat Linux 9, using the Borland C++BuilderX Personal IDE (which uses the g++ compiler). I downloaded and installed Boost from boost.org using the command: bjam -sTOOLS=gcc install The install seemed to complete fine, with 2900+ targets updated. The libraries install in /usr/local/include/boost-1_31/boost. I created the following link: ln -s /usr/local/include/boost-1_31/boost /usr/include/boost I then use C++BuilderX to try and compile one of the example programs for the regex libaries that I found in the documentation. The source code is: /////////////////////// #include <list> #include <boost/regex.hpp> unsigned tokenise(std::list<std::string>& l, std::string& s) { return boost::regex_split(std::back_inserter(l), s); } #include <iostream> using namespace std; #if defined(BOOST_MSVC) || (defined(__BORLANDC__) && (__BORLANDC__ == 0x550)) // // problem with std::getline under MSVC6sp3 istream& getline(istream& is, std::string& s) { s.erase(); char c = is.get(); while(c != '\n') { s.append(1, c); c = is.get(); } return is; } #endif int main(int argc) { string s; list<string> l; do{ if(argc == 1) { cout << "Enter text to split (or \"quit\" to exit): "; getline(cin, s); if(s == "quit") break; } else s = "This is a string of tokens"; unsigned result = tokenise(l, s); cout << result << " tokens found" << endl; cout << "The remaining text is: \"" << s << "\"" << endl; while(l.size()) { s = *(l.begin()); l.pop_front(); cout << s << endl; } }while(argc == 1); return 0; } /////////////////////// The compiler returns the following errors: /////////////////////// g++ -c -o /home/sbobrows/cbproject/pmetest/linux/Debug_Build/splittest.o -g2 -O0 -MD -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/g++-3 splittest.cpp
