 The following error occurs when trying to link openvrml to libboost:

 g++ -D_THREAD_SAFE -g -O2 -o .libs/browser browser.o -Wl,-bind_at_load
 -L/opt/local/lib ./.libs/libtest-openvrml.a

 /usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols:
 boost::system::get_system_category()

 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

 make[1]: *** [check-am] Error 2
 make[1]: Leaving directory
 `/Users/frank/FirefoxDownloads/openvrml-0.17.12/tests'

 The undefined symbol references get_system_category() and
 get_generic_category() are in libboost_filesystem-mt and the symbols are
 defined in libboost_system-mt and not in some unrelated library; yet,
 libboost_filesystem-mt cannot find libboost_system-mt to resolve the
 undefines, a library libboost_filesystem-mt is dependent on even though
 the libboost_system-mt is part of the same set without a supplied
 reference, ie:

 make check LDFLAGS='-lboost_system-mt'

 This particular dependency should have been resolved during the Boost
 build process.  The above command is the work around until the problem is
 resolved.
