Hmm... the relevant lines are

:info:build ./boost/math/special_functions/modf.hpp:68: internal compiler error: Bus error

I'm not sure how to fix this, other than set another build compiler (and requirements, etc.) which is something that I can't test.

I don't know if 32-bit/ppc under gcc-4.0.1 is still supported by boost, actually. That's a pretty old combination, and I doubt that they test much on it. You might have to stick with 1.48 and install manually.

Anybody else have any fixes or suggestions? (Perhaps removing the precompiled headers would help? Again, I can't test on 10.5/ppc...)

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. It took me an hour to find out that gcc_select no longer works as it used to… )-:

Now I switched to Apple's gcc42 and tried again - and again so success, but it looks like another failure. I attached the last few lines of the log

[drechsel@…]

Sorry - I meant "no success"…

Building went through after I changend permissions in my working directory. Dunno why… Ticket can be closed.

Gha! Glad you figured it out!

And thanks for adding the resolution to the ticket!
