I found that to build Boost 1.41.1 on MacOS, you need to do the following:
- Download boost 1.46.1 from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.46.1/
- Unpack the file
- Open terminal, cd to the install directory, and do the following:
chmod u+x configure.sh
cd tools/build/v2/engine/src
chmod u+x build.sh
Then go back to the install directory, and:
./configure.sh
If that runs successfully, it will tell you to run:
./bjam
