Scott Lamb!

I have the exact same set up as you have and I end up with the same
error message as you do.

Same as your earlier message:

I've downloaded boost-1.30.2 and boost-jam-3.1.7 to my PowerBook
running Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther). After installing boost-jam without
problems, I'm attempting to build the boost test library as follows:

$ uname -a
Darwin spiff.local 7.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 7.2.0: Thu Dec 11
16:20:23 PST 2003; root:xnu/xnu-517.3.7.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC  Power

$ gcc_select
Current default compiler:
gcc version 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1495)
$ cd boost-1.30.2/libs/test/build
$ bjam -sTOOLS=darwin

-----
Same errors as you:

Have you or anyone successfully resolved the problem?

Thanks.
