[Fink-users] boost1.32

[Becky Bendick]

I need the boost libraries in order to compile a new application. I installed the boost1.31 package from the fink release, using fink install boost 1.31 without any trouble, but when I then tried to configure the dependent application, it found that the boost/numeric/ublas/matrix.hpp library was unusable. On the advice of the boost-users list, I then installed boost 1.32, using the prebuilt executable for Darwin available on the boost web site. The install hung several times creating the serialization libraries, so I installed using the tag --without-serialization, and completed the install successfully that way. However, I still get an error when I configure the dependent package, saying that the matrix.hpp library is unusable. The config.log says:

configure: failed program was:

Higher in the config.log is another error (unrelated?) that doesn't seem to cause any trouble:

gcc -E -I/sw/include conftest.c
configure:15096:28: ac_nonexistent.h: No such file or directory
configure:15085: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
| #line 15070 "configure"
| /* confdefs.h. */

Here's the info on my gcc. What is wrong with it ? And how can I fix it?

gcc -v </dev/null >&5

Thanks!
