Has anyone seen anything like this? What could be the possible issue here? Is it really normal to compile everything as root?!!?
Just a guess, do you have an environment variable called VMS?
That was a pretty good guess! janitors-Mac-mini:src id$ env | grep VMS VMS=/Volumes/My Passport/janitors mac mini/WD250 Media/WD250 Virtual Machines Its the location where I put all my Virtual Machines. Not knowing how things work, but perhaps Boost/Jam shouldn't really be listening out for that variable? I mean since "VMS" pretty generic-sounding and only 3 letters. Such variables could be made more unique with a prefix eg BOOST_VMS and so on. Anyway thank you Steven - I shall have another go now.
