Hi all, I'm having trouble with using Boost.Thread (1.34.1) on Mac OS X (10.4.11/ppc/Xcode 2.3). I have an Xcode project ("BSD command line tool") that links to what I believe is the static build of Boost.Thread (libboost_thread-mt- d-1_34_1.a). However, when Xcode goes to run the executable, it gives the error:

Running… dyld: Library not loaded: bin.v2/libs/thread/build/darwin/debug/ threading-multi/libboost_thread-mt-d-1_34_1.dylib Referenced from: /path/to/my/executable/executablename Reason: image not found Program received signal: "SIGTRAP".

If I run the executable inside an X11 shell, I get a similar error. If I add the path to the .dylib to the $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, I can run the executable. Which makes me wonder if somehow this .a file is really a .dylib. What's also strange is that although the build directories for all the other libraries have the same structure (e.g. filesystem/build/ darwin/debug/link-static/libboost_filesystem-d-1_34_1.a), the thread directory has a threading-multi directory under the link-static directory (meaning the file I am trying to link to is in thread/build/ darwin/debug/link-static/threading-multi/libboost_thread-mt-d-1_34_1.a). I'm building all the libraries with bjam 3.1.15 and the command line "bjam --toolset=darwin". FWIW, I'm also using the Boost filesystem library with this executable, without any compile, link or run-time errors. Any help/ideas? Also: is there any plan to distribute the Boost libraries for Mac OS X in a similar way to how they are distributed for Windows (i.e. installer that has pre-built library binaries)?
