I am trying to compile boost 1.32.0 on MacOSX 10.3.8 and getting a Segmentation Fault immediately from bjam immediately. I'm using gcc 3.3. bjam is crashing with a EXC_BAD_ADDRESS exception. I compiled bjam from the boost distribution but it has the same behavior. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Seems like I'm doing somehthing dumb.

I doubt you are doing anything out of the ordinary :-) MacOSX is just not a widely tested platform for Boost. I only have OSX 10.2 so I can't try and reproduce the problem. Could you try building the debug version of bjam? With: "./build.sh --debug". Hopefully not having the optimizations will work around the problem. If not you can at least give us a stack trace if the problem is repeatable.

Also, are binaries available via fink? I seached with fink 0.71 but couldn't find anything. Thx.

Is that binaries for bjam, or Boost? I guess I could try and make a bjam binary available through fink. --grafik
