Compilation issue with boost library - c++

I am trying to compile some source codes. However it is throwing some error related to boost library. Here is the error
undefined reference to `boost::re_detail::get_mem_block()'
main.cpp:(.text+0x40a6): undefined reference to `boost::re_detail::verify_options(unsigned int, boost::regex_constants::_match_flags)'

I have the boost regex library installed in my system and I have given the path to the library using -L option and specified the library using -lboost_regex option as well. What could be the issue?
It does find the library. But still throwing an error

I met the same problem, and it has been solved. So maybe you had installed an older version of boost before, and the linker linkes the older version.
Try to remove all installed boost library, and reinstall the boost library, your problem will be solved.

CppDB compilation errors

I followed the following steps in order to build CppDB:
svn co http://cppcms.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cppcms/cppdb/trunk cppdb-trunk
cd cppdb-trunk
cmake ~/Desktop/cppdb-trunk
make
make install
Afterwards, I'm trying to compile and run the file example1.cpp from the examples directory.
When I run gcc example1.cpp I get the following errors:
/tmp/ccGWenrv.o: In function main':

example1.cpp:(.text+0x1fd): undefined reference to `cppdb::statement::operator=(cppdb::statement const&)'
etc.
Any suggestions?
Try g++ example1.cpp -lcppdb. You need to link against the C++ run-time library (using g++ instead of gcc takes care of that) and against CppDB itself (the -lcppdb part). If GCC cannot find the -lcppdb library, you'll have to provide the path using -L, and you may have to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH at run time as well.

undefined reference to boost::filesystem::path_traits::convert

I am trying to compile a program using cmake, and am seeing the following linker error:

As you can see, I am linking against boost_filesystem and boost_system, so it's not the same problem as referenced on this SO post (and the many others like it).
I am using boost 1.61, which I compiled with gcc 5.3 (the same compiler as the one I'm compiling my program with).
What am I doing wrong?
I had a similar issue, this could be because of a new ABI which is introduced from gcc 5.1.
https://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks/issues/4203
I fixed mine by adding "add_definitions(-D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0)" to CMakeLists.txt

Using clang instead of gcc, removing the atomic check in the CMakeList.txt and disabling tests made wangle build for me on Arch.
It currently won't build with GCC 7 (Issue) and GCC 5 threw a similar issue to yours for me.
CC=clang CXX=clang cmake . -DBUILD_TEST=0
(code above does not include the atomic check you need to remove in the CMakeList.txt yourself! Just search for atomic.)

nuwen MinGW + Boost- error linking boost_regex

I downloaded the nuwen distribution of MinGW, which comes with Boost (GCC 4.6.1 and Boost 1.47.0.). I want to use the Boost regex package in a c++ program. libboost_regex.a is contained in C:\dev\MinGW\lib, which is in my path as well as the library search path for MinGW. When I compile, it gives me lots and lots of errors. I tried giving it the exact path to the library in the g++ command line, but to no avail. My best attempt at compiling: g++ -o test -LC:\dev\MinGW -lboost_regex testBoost.cpp. The program I'm trying to run:
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/regex.hpp>
int main (int argc, char* argv[])
{
static const boost::regex exp ("hello regex!");
}

Edit: As suggested by Michael Burr, I ran g++ -Wl --verbose. Here is the output from it:

This works fine for me using -lboost_regex passed on the command line (mingw-7.2.exe distribution from nuwen.net - freshly unpacked with nothing else done to the distribution - which contains the compiler and boost versions you mentioned).
Try passing the option -Wl,--verbose to have the gnu ld linker be verbose about where it's looking for the libraries - that might give you a clue. Maybe some hidden option/environment setting is causing the wrong libboost_regex.a to be picked up?
Another thing to try is to pass the full path and filename for the library as an input file to g++ (with no options) - GCC will figure out that it's a library file (and a lib directory search will not be done for it). So assuming that you have MinGW installed in C:\dev\Mingw, the command line should look like:
g++ -o test -LC:\dev\MinGW testBoost.cpp c:\dev\MinGW\lib\libboost_regex.a
If that works, then you have a problem with the wrong library being found, and you need to fix your build script/build configuration or you'll continue to have problems down the road. If that still doesn't work, then the library might have been corrupted - try downloading and/or extracting the nuwen.net distribution again. Or try building the Boost libraries from scratch (which may take a while).

Boost Regex throwing an error

I have the following error when I try to compile my code in g+ compiler using eclipse
In function `ZSt19__iterator_categoryIPKSsENSt15iterator_traitsIT_E17iterator_categoryERKS3_':

Build error occurred, build is stopped
All I have done is this statement
boost::regex re("\s+"); along with the header #inlucde
Could you kindly tell me how to proceed ?
It appears that you're not linking to the correct library. Most Boost libraries are header-only, so you don't need to do anything about them at link time. Boost::regex, however, is one of the few that requires that you link with a library along with giving the compiler the proper headers.
After you fix that, you'll want to re-check the escape in your string -- right now your passing "\s", which shouldn't be allowed (at a guess, you probably want "\s+" instead).
