build error: can't locate -lboost_filesystem-mt

I'm trying to install deluge on my MacBook Pro (Mac OS 10.4.11) since version 0.5.8.1, but I keep getting the following error:
Code: Select all
/usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -lboost_filesystem-mt
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
error: command '/usr/bin/g++-4.0' failed with exit status 1
Warning: the following items did not execute (for deluge): org.macports.activate org.macports.build org.macports.destroot org.macports.install
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
Running port selfupdate doesn't help (building 0.5.8.4 fails with the same error message).
Any suggestions?

you could try replacing boost_filesystem-mt with boost_filesystem in setup.py

Thanks for your reply.
I tried it, but the build fails again with the same message except now it reads just boost_filesystem.

check the files in /opt/local/lib
boost installs wrong symbolic link
libboost_filesystem-d.a -> /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_boost/work/destroot/opt/local/lib/libboost_filesystem-d-1_34_1.a
instead of
libboost_filesystem-d.a -> /opt/local/lib/libboost_filesystem-d-1_34_1.a
fixing the symbolic link solve the compilation problem

Thanks a lot!
I had to fix the symbolic links for:
- libboost_filesystem-mt.a
- libboost_date_time-mt.a
- libboost_thread-mt.a
in the way you said (not 'libboost_thread-d' by the way) and it's working now

I was wondering if somebody could clarify what was meant by "fixing the symbolic links"...Sorry for the noob question I really want to get deluge working on leopard.

I'm no expert either, but as far as I know a symbolic link is what Mac OS X calls an alias and it needs fixing because it's pointing to a file that doesn't exist.
I'm not sure if it is same for Leopard, but this worked for me on Tiger. Open terminal and type:
Code: Select all
cd /opt/local/lib
sudo rm libboost_filesystem-mt.a
sudo ln -s libboost_filesystem-mt-1_34_1.a libboost_filesystem-mt.a
sudo rm libboost_thread-mt.a
sudo ln -s libboost_thread-mt-1_34_1.a libboost_thread-mt.a
sudo rm libboost_date_time-mt.a
sudo ln -s libboost_date_time-mt-1_34_1.a libboost_date_time-mt.a
sudo port install deluge
'cd' changes directory (to /opt/local/lib)
'sudo rm' removes the old symbolic link (which requires administrator access, thus sudo,
super
user
do)
'sudo ln -s' creates the new link

This issue has been solved with the new revision 2 of boost 1.34.1:
