Comment (by uri@…):

 I understand. Hope you would find time rather sooner than later. ;-)

 Well, I bit the bullet and built a local boost_1_60_0 (leaving other
 packages to use the Macports 1_59_0 in /opt/local). So far I don't see
 success.  You can see the details on the boost ticket tracker (URL in the
 previous post).

 '''One more point'''. It looks like the `-mt` suffix has been discontinued
 by boost since 1.42, and the standard boost build does not append it,
 creating libraries named like `libboost_system.a` rather than
 `libboost_system-mt.a`. This `-mt` suffix confuses auto configuration
 applications such as cmake - they claim they can't find boost libraries.
 While I personally hate cmake, I'd rather that it worked on my system with
 packages I'm trying to install. So could I ask to abolish this `-mt`
 business and just build the libraries thread-safe?  Thanks!
