[C++-sig] failed to install boost.python on Lion

[Liguo Kong]

Hello,

I am trying to install boost.python on Mac Lion OS. I used python 2.6
installed by default and
built boost.build with *./bootstrap.sh --set-toolset=gcc *and then *./b2
install --prefix=~/workspace/boost_build*.
The gcc version is "gcc version 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM
build 2335.15.00)".
I followed the instructions
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html#expected-build-output
to install boost.python with
bjam --build-dir=/Users/lkong/workspace/boost_python toolset=gcc
--with-python stage

It fails with the message:

The problem "*ld: unknown option: -R*" also appeared when I tried the
quickstart example
as in
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_47_0/libs/python/doc/building.html

Any ideas how to solve the problem?

Thanks a lot.
