Hello, I'm trying to install boost on mac using the gcc compiler. I encounter these errors during installation for all libraries:

I have no experience at all using boost in mac, and it is necessary that I use gcc. I am wondering if anyone could point me to a solution regarding this.
Try adding toolset=darwin to your bjam command-line. HTH, -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
