[LSST|dm-users 549] Re: Boost install error in eups on OS X Yosemite

[Will Dawson]

For those still interested,

I’ve tried David Kirkby’s two solutions outlined in the many shared links (which all are sourced from David’s github issue <https://github.com/GalSim-developers/GalSim/issues/506#issuecomment-34663695>). One solution worked and the other didn’t.

Of course I started with the second solution (editing the user-config.jam file) and was able to manually build boost.  However when running:

eups distrib install -t v9_2 lsst_apps

(a second time after the first failed attempt) eups did not recognize boosts existence in /usr/local/… and overwrote the edited user-config.jam file. Ultimately resulting in the same error as before.

I then tried a modified version of David’s second solution (modified for my specific Canopy configuration):

cd $HOME/Library/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/include/
ln -s /Applications/Canopy.app/appdata/canopy-1.4.1.1975.macosx-x86_64/Canopy.app/Contents/include/python2.7

This solution worked.

Perhaps there is another step that could be added to David's second solution to make eups recognize an existing installation of boost (I am new to eups and don’t feel like exploring this possibility). Until someone figures out what this extra step is I recommend making note that for the LSST Stack the first solution (the soft-link) works and the second doesn’t whenever linking to the GalSim FAQ <https://github.com/GalSim-developers/GalSim/wiki/Installation-FAQ#in-mac-osx-what-can-i-do-if-im-having-trouble-getting-boostpython-to-work-with-enthought-canopy-python> (or corresponding GitHub issue <https://github.com/GalSim-developers/GalSim/issues/506#issuecomment-34663695>).

Cheers,
Will
