Hi Mat, I just found out that the problem exists only when linking with the release lib. You were linking with the debug lib of boost_filesystem, which works fine on my system, too. Can you reproduce the error with the release lib on your system? See below for details. Mat Marcus wrote:

On my system it looks like this: darwin.compile.c++ bin.v2/libs/filesystem/build/darwin/release/link-static/macosx-version-10.4/threading-multi/exception.o "g++" -ftemplate-depth-128 -O3 -finline-functions -Wno-inline -Wall -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -mmacosx-version-min=10.4 -Wno-long-double -no-cpp-precomp -gdwarf-2 -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -DNDEBUG -I"." -c -o "bin.v2/libs/filesystem/build/darwin/release/link-static/macosx-version-10.4/threading-multi/exception.o" "libs/filesystem/src/exception.cpp" Please note that I use the release version, which explains the "-O3 -finline-functions" difference. Also, I did not modify any options, nor did I modify the g++ environment in any way. $ sudo mv projects/adobe_root/boost_libraries/bin.v2/libs/filesystem/build/darwin/release/link-static/macosx-version-10.4/threading-multi/libboost_filesystem-mt-1_34_1.a /usr/local/lib $ ls /usr/local/lib/libboost* /usr/local/lib/libboost_filesystem-mt-1_34_1.a Now the simple way first: $ g++ -c test.cpp -I./projects/adobe_root/boost_libraries -o test.o $ g++ -o test test.o /usr/local/lib/libboost_filesystem-mt-1_34_1.a $ ./test terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::filesystem::basic_filesystem_error<boost::filesystem::basic_path<std::string, boost::filesystem::path_traits> >' what(): boost::filesystem::basic_directory_iterator constructor Abort trap Adding all your options: $ rm ./test ./test.o $ g++ -c test.cpp -I./projects/adobe_root/boost_libraries -ftemplate-depth-128 -O0 -fno-inline -Wall -g -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -mmacosx-version-min=10.4 -Wno-long-double -no-cpp-precomp -gdwarf-2 -Werror -Wall -Wno-trigraphs -Wreturn-type -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Woverloaded-virtual -Wformat -Wmissing-braces -Wparentheses -Wswitch -Wunused-function -Wunused-label -Wunused-parameter -Wunused-variable -Wunused-value -Wunknown-pragmas -Wsign-compare -DADOBE_SERIALIZATION -DADOBE_STD_SERIALIZATION -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB -DBOOST_SIGNALS_STATIC_LINK -DBOOST_THREAD_BUILD_LIB=1 -DBOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB -DNOMINMAX -o test.o $ g++ -o test test.o /usr/local/lib/libboost_filesystem-mt-1_34_1.a -g -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -mmacosx-version-min=10.4 -Xlinker -Y -Xlinker 5 -lSystemStubs $ ./test terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::filesystem::basic_filesystem_error<boost::filesystem::basic_path<std::string, boost::filesystem::path_traits> >' what(): boost::filesystem::basic_directory_iterator constructor Abort trap Using the debug lib works like a charme: sudo mv projects/adobe_root/boost_libraries/bin.v2/libs/filesystem/build/darwin/debug/link-static/macosx-version-10.4/threading-multi/libboost_filesystem-mt-d-1_34_1.a /usr/local/lib $ g++ -c test.cpp -I./projects/adobe_root/boost_libraries -o test.o $ g++ -o test test.o /usr/local/lib/libboost_filesystem-mt-d-1_34_1.a $ ./test This is never printed on MacOS 10.5.
