Boost Regex not playing welll with Snow leopard

Question

So I inherited code written in C++ that uses the Boost library. I could compile (using Code Blocks) and run the code on Linux Ubuntu but when I ported it over to the mac and installed the boost library, I can compile it using code blocks (and specifying the location of the regex libraries) but it won't run.

It just gives me the error:

$ ./BLAH_PD

dyld: Library not loaded: libboost_regex.dylib Referenced from: /Users/spinach/Desktop/B/BLAH/bin/Release/./BLAH_PD Reason: image not found Trace/BPT trap

I'm not sure what to do next but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

You need to set the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include the path where you installed the compiled Boost libs.

Answer 2

Did you follow these directions?
Boost.Regex is not a header only library. You will need to install/compile the .dynlib. If you did this, did you remember to correctly link it? (-llibboost_regex -LPATH_TO_BOOST_BIN)
