Boost library was not found on Mac snowleopard

Asked by Sungick Kim

Dorsal installation was successful. However, I have a new problem running a demo.py file.
Boost 1.42.0 is installed through Macports, and header files and libraries are in the default position.
( '/opt/local/include/boost' and '/opt/local/lib')
Any ideas?

Following the last line :), make sure you set the BOOST_DIR variable.

export BOOST_DIR=/opt/local/include

And Johannes, could you change the default lookup path on darwin to the path I suggested above?

Yes, but it should be /opt/local not /opt/local/include, right?

Actually, I just realised it works with dolfin-dev without setting the
variable. So I'd suggest just leaving it, and Sungick setting it by hand
for this version.
