[C++-sig] boost.python on mac os x

[Tom Denniston]

That works, all the targets seem to compile except one (see below). 
It seems to just hang.  Is this the one you were having trouble with. 
what surprises me is that I have 1 GB of ram and still have the
problem.

The ouput I am seeing is below:


Tom-Dennistons-Computer:/development/libraries/boost_1_32_0
tomdenniston$ /development/bjam-3.1.10-1/bjam -sTOOLS=darwin
-sPYTHON_VERSION=2.3
...found 8239 targets...
...updating 261 targets...
darwin-C++-action
