I understand the path-thing. In my case the file regex.hpp is in
H:\matthias\Documents\Dev\CPP\SVN\library\source\boost_1_40_0\boost

which is why have set up
INCLUDEPATH += 
H:/matthias/Documents/Dev/CPP/SVN/library/source/boost_1_40_0/

but that does not work. The error in qtcreator is:

H:/matthias/Documents/Dev/CPP/SVN/library/source/source-highlight-3.1.2/lib/srchilite/substfun.h:13: 
boost/regex.hpp: No such file or directory


The compilation output however does not include this path, which I do 
not understand:
g++ -c -g -frtti -fexceptions -mthreads -Wall
