I've built RDKit_Q32009_1 on Mac OS X 10.6 using boost_1_41_0 . I did this using the bjam installed via MacPorts, which has a default toolset of "gcc" and which seemed to cause some difficulty. My solution was to tell it to use the "darwin" toolset.
Here are the differences vs. what's described at http://code.google.com/p/rdkit/wiki/BuildingOnMacOs numpy - I installed via easy_install boost - I unpackaged the source into /usr/local/boost_1_41_0/ boost numeric bindings - I copied the files into the correct locations under /usr/local/boost_1_41_10 building boost - I used the new Boost installation, described at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html They described the build command as ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=path/to/installation/prefix Since I installed to /usr/local (which is the default path), I did ./bootstrap.sh Then sudo bjam install I had difficulties after running cd $RDBASE/Code; python CompleteJamroot.py; bjam which turned out to be because I didn't set up all of my environment variables. Here are the environments I've defined in my $HOME/.cshrc (BTW, why does RDKit use $BOOSTHOME instead of $BOOST_ROOT ?) ## RDKIT setenv RDBASE /Users/dalke/ftps/RDKit_Q32009_1 setenv BOOSTHOME /usr/local/boost_1_41_0 setenv BOOST_BUILD_PATH $BOOSTHOME set path=($path $RDBASE/bin) setenv PYTHONPATH ${PYTHONPATH}:${RDBASE} setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH ${DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${RDBASE}/bin I did the bjam but ran into problems. I got the error message ld: unknown option: -h This turned out to be because I didn't specify a toolset to bjam. The default is "gcc" for my bjam, but that might be because I installed bjam through MacPorts instead of installing it myself. The error comes from how it builds a dynamic library using "g++" ... -Wl,-h ... where Apple's ld doesn't support the -h option. The solution is to use the "darwin" toolset instead of "gcc". I did that by adding "using darwin ;" to Code/Jamroot [RDKit_Q32009_1/Code] dalke% head -5 Jamroot import os ; using darwin ; local BOOSTHOME = [ os.environ BOOSTHOME ] ; local RDBASE = [ os.environ RDBASE ] ; [RDKit_Q32009_1/Code] dalke% With that, I could build RDKit and import it from Python.
