Ya, macports compiles 'ports' from source so everything that 'can go wrong, can go wrong' and it feels like it takes ages to build.
Its nice how you can just delete the /opt/ folder and poof! Macports is gone, but life surely would be easier if it Macports worked more like linux packaging systems. The '-d' spits out everything macports is doing during an install and the stdout of the ports build process. If Boost still does not build with python we should check out that output. - Dane On May 7, 2009, at 11:22 AM, Michal Migurski wrote: > > On May 5, 2009, at 10:42 PM, Dane Springmeyer wrote: > >> Hey Mike, >> >> On May 5, 2009, at 12:43 PM, Michal Migurski wrote: >> >>> Hm, everything worked until: >>> >>> g++ -o bindings/python/_mapnik.so ... >>> ld: library not found for -lboost_python-mt >>> collect2: ld returned 1 exit status >>> scons: *** [bindings/python/_mapnik.so] Error 1 >>> scons: building terminated because of errors. >>> >> >> Looks familiar :) >> >> Can you try: >> $ sudo port uninstall boost >> $ sudo port clean boost >> $ sudo port install boost +python26 +icu >> >> My guess would be that boost somehow got installed previously >> without the '+python26' flag (which denotes a boost 'variant').
