py26-mapnik: undefined symbols boost::system::generic_category boost::system::system_category

[aacinelli@…]

When I tried to install the py26-mapnik port from the terminal it failed. I already had installed some of the ports that py26-mapnik uses:

babbos-mac:~ babbo$ port installed

  zlib @1.2.7_0 (active)

Then I just entered the following commands:

sudo port select --set python python26
sudo port -d install py26-mapnik

I am using:

Mac OS X 10.7.4

Xcode Version 4.3.3

X11 XQuartz 2.6.4 (xorg-server 1.10.6)

MacPorts 2.1.2

Please see file attached for debug info.

The log shows missing symbols:

This could be an incompatibility with boost 1.50, to which the boost port was recently updated; we've seen such incompatibilities in other ports and it's not uncommon for new boost versions to break other ports. You could try downgrading to boost 1.49.

However, before you do so, note that the log also says:

The "Skipping completed" lines show that you had not cleaned before trying this build, so its results cannot be trusted. Please "sudo port clean py26-mapnik" and then try again. If it still fails with undefined symbols, then proceed as above.
