Dave, sorry we had a race condition on our posts.<div><br><div>Regex compiles for me with a straght &#39;configure&#39;, &#39;make&#39;, and &#39;sudo make install&#39;. I don&#39;t use &quot;-with-libraries=regex&quot;, I just build everything and let it install in the default /usr/local tree. However, while the dynamic libs install with the right permissions, on my systems (Mac Pro 10.5.2 and MacbookPro 10.5.2) the static libs end up &#39;rw&#39; for root only so I do this afterwards to fix that:</div>

<div><br>&nbsp;</div><div>&quot;sudo&nbsp;find /usr/local/lib -regex &#39;.*\.a&#39; -exec chmod 666 {} \;&quot;</div><div><br>&nbsp;</div><div>Daniel</div><div><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 3/12/08, <b class="gmail_sendername">Daniel Lord</b> &lt;<a href="mailto:daniel@brightfire.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">daniel@brightfire.com</a>&gt; wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0;margin-left:0.8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

You went straight to &#39;sudo make install&#39; without &#39;configure&#39; and &#39;make&#39; first?<div><br><div>I don&#39;t know for certain what happened in your case, but I would not recommend assuming any configuration in there after the unpack was suitable for a platform and skip that step.</div>


<div><br>&nbsp;</div><div>I usually run &#39;configure&#39; to check that the &#39;darwin&#39; system type is recognized an all prerequisites are found. I also run &#39;make&#39; separately from &#39;install&#39; so I can run any check or test phases before installing.&nbsp;</div>


<div><br>&nbsp;</div><div>That has saved me grief a few times with GMP (Gnu Multi-Precision library) alone. GMP will appear to compile correctly with no errors and you&#39;d think you could just install it. Yet that build will fail significant tests. If you blindly install, you&#39;ll have a flawed installation that will give bogus calculation results. SInce I use GMP to generate prime pairs for asymmetric encryption and quantitative finance calculations, among other things, that would be very, very bad.</div>


<div><br>&nbsp;</div><div>I would caution you to always &#39;configure&#39;, &#39;make&#39;, &#39;test/check, and only then to &#39;install&#39;. The time you save in the end chasing ghosts in your machine will be worth it.<br>

I just ssh&#39;d onto a Linux machine here at my school and compiled and ran it there, and the test code works fine, so&nbsp;I guess I have a problem with my boost install. &nbsp;All I did was download the tar, untar it, cd into the directory, and run &quot;sudo make install&quot;. &nbsp;It ran for about four hours (I have an older Powerbook G4).<div>
