That's where that file is for me on Ubuntu and the build finds it just fine.

Can you:

cd into libs/regex/build run ../../../b2 --reconfigure toolset=gcc

At this point you should see:

has_icu builds - yes

near the start of the compilation, if not, then go to the file:

boost-root/bin.v2/config.log

which will contain the actual error messages from the failed configuration. My guess is that utypes.h is not in your compilers search paths for some reason, but we'll see...

This way it works. However this not the default action.

Same problem here on Linux Mint; detection fails during bootstrap, but --reconfigure works
