Hello, I'm trying to build boost on my Macbook, which runs OSX 10.4.7 on intel core duo with 2GB of ram. I downloaded boost_1_33_1.tar.gz, untared the file, ran configure, sudo make, sudo make install. Apparently, this installs some 1k + libraries, but not all - 6 libraries are not installed. If I re-run configure and make, it tries to update only these libs, but failes again. I attach the full output, however, the failure seems to originate from some undefined symbols (what ever a symbol is...) ld: Undefined symbols: __Z20init_unit_test_suiteiPPc /usr/bin/libtool: internal link edit command failed All these symbols are called whatsoeverPPc, so I think it might be caused by my intel CPU. Is there any workaround for this? I found the same problem posted on another mailing list, but with no replies so far. Can anyone help? Thanks a lot Oliver ---------------------terminal output----------------------------------------- ./tools/build/jam_src/bin.macosxx86/bjam -sPYTHON_ROOT=/System/ Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3 -sPYTHON_VERSION=2.3 --prefix=/usr/local --exec-prefix=/usr/local --libdir=/usr/local/lib --includedir=/usr/local/include -sTOOLS=darwin install Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled.
