Is there any particular reason why you want to build the libraries yourself? Darwinports (a project similar to Fink) maintains fairly up to date Boost libraries (currently v1.33.1): http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/ 'sudo port install boost' should be enough.

Hi, I did a google search to look for how to install boost library on os X 10.3 after trying the instructions on the boost.org site (and failing). But I have not been able to find anything useful yet. I am using gcc version 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1640). I also use fink package manager for a lot of packages that I need. I have python version 2.3 I believe. Can anyone suggest to me step by step instructions of how to install boost library 1 33 1 ? I have already tried using bjam for the same but the installation terminated with

...failed updating 49 targets... ...skipped 3624 targets... ...updated 691 targets...

thanks, -a.
