Hi Peter,
citing the iNSTALL file at the position of interest
VII) Example: how to compile on Mac OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
===========================================================
This has been tested on OSX 10.6.4. You will need XCode (from Apple) and some
packages from MacPorts. Note that I used XCode 3.2.5 and MacPorts 1.9.2
(downloading BOOST 1.45). Lower versions of all of the above *might* work,
but
not necessarily so.
Obviously 1.39 was part of the "not necessarily so" :-)
I think I'll update the INSTALL anyway to have 1.4x as minimum requirement.

BOOST and the autoconf system (which MIRA uses) have had a love/hate
relationship for quite some time. If I recall correctly, there have been a
couple of changes in the build process during the development leading to 3.4.0,
so maybe that problem may be history already.
MIRA 3.2.1 certainly is history.

Well, a new BOOST is not a bad thing :-)
Best,
