I was trying to compile the boost-libraries in order to use them in dolfin (1.4.0), as I got an error message in Dolfin as follows:

ImportError: /home/phoenix/Work/FEniCS/lib/libdolfin.so.1.4: undefined symbol: _ZN5boost6thread4joinEv

I thought that the undefined symbol pointed towards the boost libraries and so I tried to recompile them by including them into the dorsal script. A compilation of the latter stopped with another error however. The ..Work/FEniCS/src/boost_1_55_0/dorsal_build.log ends with

...failed updating 45 targets... ...skipped 50 targets... ...updated 564 targets... and can be seen in full glory here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/529m6pb4ygcsxxv/dorsal_build.log?dl=0

Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?
