Link Error Using gcc49 port on Mac OS 10.9

[Geoffrey Odhner]

Ryan,

I also tried your suggestion of using clang.  I installed the MacPorts port of clang-3.4, which compiled my program fine, but when I ran it, it gave exceptions on regexes that it shouldn't!  I have a regex std::regex phone_("\\PHONE ?"), and I learned that their regular expression engine is very much more particular about adhering to the ECMA standard in its parsing of regular expressions, but because the standard doesn't explicitly require it, they don't support matching of backslashes, even when they are specified using hex escape sequences.  This is really a problem!  How can they not support matching against a specific character?  Well, that's why I need to go back to GCC for now.  I always seem to run into the issues with compilers.  Thanks again for your help.

Regards,

Geoff

I narrowed it down, and if I take out the use of any regex then it will link.  I can leave in the #include <regex> line, but if I have any line that actually does a regex_search or a regex_replace, then I get the following error output when I compile and link (with my compile line shown first):
