I'm developing a software under Ubuntu since Ubuntu Hardy Heron.
This last week, I have add the libboost-regex into my application, under Jaunty.

When typing "make" everything work.

Now, I'm working on package creation, and so, I have in VirutalBox Intrepid 32 and 64, Jaunty 32 and 64, and finally, Karmic 32.

In all else Karmic, all make work perfectly, but in Karmic, "make" return this error:
/usr/lib/ld: cannot find -lboost_regex

So, I think that this package have a problem.

Got a similar problem with -lboost_date_time

Try to install older packages if possible.

[Michal Parusinski (astenorh)]

Manage to solve the problem for by changing the includes. Instead of using -lboost_regex I used -lboost_regex-mt. Do the same for any boost library.

I hope it will work for you!
