Dear all, I was trying to install Mira 3.9.16 on my Mac osx 10.8.3. Then I realised that I also needed to install the Boost library. After searching on the MIRA_talk I found the following instructions (see below) and I was following that instructions using the latest version of boost_1_53_0. however i was getting this error from the MIRA configure script: checking whether the Boost::Filesystem library is available... yes configure: error: Could not link against boost_system ! I then added system to ./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=thread,regex, system but still got the same error. I then added filesystem to ./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=thread,regex, system, filesystem But still could not get it to work. Maybe Mira 3.9.16 requires more components installed? But how many more? I was wondering if anyone could update the instructions of the boost library for this latest version of MIRA? Thank you so much in advance Aus (02-15-2011) Just a note for anyone using my instructions above, they've been fine for me up to and including MIRA 3.2.0. As of MIRA 3.2.1 you'll also need the BOOST regex library - I was getting this error from the MIRA configure script: Code: checking whether the Boost::Regex library is available... yes configure: error: Could not link against boost_thread ! So, install BOOST again (I tried with BOOST 1.42.0 initially since I already had that, then again with the latest release, BOOST 1.45.0) but with regex this time: Code: cd boost_1_45_0 ./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=thread,regex ./bjam ./bjam install --prefix=$HOME Then: Code: cd mira-3.2.1 ./configure --with-boost=$HOME make make check
