mongodb: incompatible with boost >= 1.50.0

[hapaguy (Brian Kurt Fujikawa)]

OS X 10.7.4, Xcode 4.3.3, I had installed mongodb a few weeks ago and it was running without problems. After performing a recent macports update:

$sudo port -v selfupdate;sudo port -sv upgrade outdated;

mongodb started to fail with the following error:

$ port installed |grep mongodb
  mongodb @2.0.6_0 (active)
$ port installed |grep boost
  boost @1.50.0_0 (active)
$ mongo
dyld: Symbol not found: __ZNK5boost15program_options16validation_error4whatEv
  Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/mongo
  Expected in: /opt/local/lib/libboost_program_options-mt.dylib
 in /opt/local/bin/mongo

A clean re-install of mongodb also now fails:

$ sudo port uninstall mongodb
$ sudo port clean --all mongodb
$ sudo port -sv install mongodb

For anybody who lands here from Google searching for solution, quick remedy is to downgrade Boost.

You should Cc the maintainer of a port so he becomes aware of your ticket...

You should also report such non-MacPorts-specific problems directly to the developers in the ​mongodb bug tracker.

Boost frequently changes its API in incompatible ways. Unless you have evidence that this change in boost was unintentional and will be reverted in the next version of boost, you should report the problem to the developers of each affected program so the affected programs can be fixed to be compatible with the newer boost.

[ecronin (Eric Cronin)]

Boost removed the long (in boost release terms) deprecated version 2 of Boost::Filesystem in the 1.50 release but mongo is still using it. There is a ticket in mongo's tracker to update to using version 3 but it is still open. Until that happens unless there is a way to disable the parts of mongo requiring boost::filesystem the only possible fix is to install an older boost.

[ecronin (Eric Cronin)]

Has duplicate #35726. In r96549 I made the port detect too-new versions of boost and print an error message explaining to the user how to downgrade boost. In r97033 I expanded that message to include instructions on how to install mongodb without upgrading dependencies (so that boost doesn't get re-upgraded to an incompatible version).

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Replying to francisdb@…:

thanks, so where is the bug/improvement ticket to make this process more user-friendly?

I apologize that this process is a bit involved right now, but I hope that it is only a short-term problem. There are no plans to modify MacPorts to make it easier to install older version of ports; that would be a major rearchitecting of MacPorts. The correct long-term solution is to fix mongodb so that it works with newer versions of boost. It is the responsibility of the developers of mongodb to do this. When they do so, we will update the mongodb port to include this fix. You can help encourage the developers of mongodb to fix this problem by voting on ​the issue in their issue tracker.

[francisdb@…]

for reference, this is how I removed boost 1.5 and reverted to 1.49

I'm getting this even though files are 0777 permission. Tried using sudo and directly as root. Makes no sense. No additional info in the log either.

Not only must the Portfile be readable, but every directory leading up to it, including in your case /Users/me, must also have execute permission for the macports user.

After this issue has been fixed I tried to upgrade mongodb to the latest version but I get a build error.

I uninstalled boost befor upgrading as I assumed that mongodb port now comes with its own boost version, right?

Both upgrade and complete uninstall and re-install of mongodb failed. See error message below.

I'm still using Mac OS X 10.5 (I know it's ancient...). Is Leopard not supported anymore?

error message in log file:
