Right. This is a known (and very annoying) issue with LAM-MPI and recent versions of Mac OS X. I recall using "--without-memory-manager", but I believe they are the same.
However, if I then try to compile the Boost.MPI example program
mpic++ hello_world.cpp -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib - lboost_mpi-1_35 -lmpi -lboost_serialization-1_35
I get a bunch of linker warnings:

That looks exactly like what I would expect to have happen if there was still a memory manager... hmmm. Could you send me (privately) the output of "laminfo"? Also, are you linking against static or shared versions of the Boost.MPI libraries?
Also, Open-MPI appears to compile without shenanigans on OSX - has anyone tried to use Boost.MPI with Open-MPI?
Boost.MPI was developed almost entirely with Open MPI, on Linux and (I think) Mac OS X. I will be working on this a bit more Very Soon, because most of the BBv2 port for Boost.MPI's build system needs to get finished very, very soon. Cheers, Doug
