Does libboost_regex-vc80-mt-gd-1_38.lib exist in the library directory?

Does libboost_regex-vc80-mt-gd-1_38.lib exist in the library directory?

The lib file do not exist. and I'm following the instruction pointed by the link you mentioned. what should I do next?

Okay. If you built using bjam, then you need the following options:

bjam msvc debug link=static --with-regex stage

This ought to build the correct library.

OK I found the problem, there is some kind of bug in the autolinking feature. You need to download all the possible libs (I used the installer from http://www.boostpro.com/download) for the regexp (multithread debug, etc...) it worked for me. good luck

Auto linking picks the library based on your project settings. It has no idea which libraries are available.
