failed to install boost.python on Lion

[Liguo Kong]

Hello,

I am trying to install boost.python on Mac Lion OS. I used python 2.6 installed by default and

built boost.build with ./bootstrap.sh --set-toolset=gcc and then ./b2 install --prefix=~/workspace/boost_build.

The gcc version is "gcc version 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.15.00)". 

I followed the instructions

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html#expected-build-output

to install boost.python with

bjam --build-dir=/Users/lkong/workspace/boost_python toolset=gcc --with-python stage

It fails with the message:

The problem "ld: unknown option: -R" also appeared when I tried the quickstart example

as in

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_47_0/libs/python/doc/building.html

Any ideas how to solve the problem?

Thanks a lot.

Uh, maybe toolset=darwin?
