With the assistance of a huge number of very useful people, I've sorted out how to successfully install the boost 1.32 package on Mac Darwin with gcc 3.3. There are two problems to solve:
1. some libraries are made but not usable because of errors like:
/sw/include/boost/numeric/ublas/vector_expression.hpp:1837: error: due
to a defect in the G++ 3.2 ABI, G++ has assigned the same mangled name to
twodifferent types In file included from /sw/include/boost/numeric/ublas/matrix.hpp:23,
from conftest.cc:100:
/sw/include/boost/numeric/ublas/matrix_expression.hpp:5156: error: due to a
defect in the G++ 3.2 ABI, G++ has assigned the same mangled name to two
different types
configure:23533: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
| /* confdefs.h. */
The solution is to put -fabi-version=0 into your CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS, rebuild bjam, and install boost with the rebuilt bjam.
2. Install hangs on xml_grammar.
The solution is outlined in
http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/boost/msg76758.php
Or include the following:
<darwin><release><inline>off
Thanks to everyone who helped out.
