Hi,

I'm trying to compile boost 1.33 on MacOS X, and I get a number of
failures. I have:

$ uname -a

I compiled bjam first (without problems), and then issues the following
command (according to the documentation):

./tools/build/jam_src/bin.macosxppc/bjam -sTOOLS=darwin --prefix=/tmp/boost

I get the following errors:
