Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Christopher Dunn (cxdunn) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: TOP environment variable crashes installation via bjam Initial Comment: Immediate segmentation fault running bjam! I found the cause: I had TOP=all set as an environment variable. (This tells the UNIX utility 'top' my default settings.) That causes bjam to crash, which prevents installation of boost. I don't mind that bjam uses "TOP", but it shouldn't seg fault. This was not easy to track down. (I compared my environment with that of a friend who could compile boost, and changed everything one at a time. It took hours.) Probably, if somebody else has this problem, he'll never even figure out the cause. So this really needs to be changed.
