Hey

First of all: I'm on a Mac. I'm quite new to this, so forgive me if i sound like a newb :-)
I wish to install the Deluge BitTorrent client. First of all I installed Macports and made it run smooth. But then I ran into a problem when I should install Deluge. I can post the log, and maybe you'll know what is wrong with the process:

Hope that someone knows what to do :-)

/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_boost/work/boost_1_34_1/Makefile contains a syntax error. Maybe it didn't download correctly, or you ran out of disk. Can you post the first half-dozen lines from that file? It should be just nerd-readable text.

I think you mean this:

BJAM=./tools/jam/src/bin.macosxx86/bjam
BJAM_CONFIG=
PREFIX=/opt/local
EPREFIX=/opt/local
LIBDIR=/opt/local/lib
INCLUDEDIR=/opt/local/include

all: .dummy
@echo "$(BJAM) $(BJAM_CONFIG) --user-config=user-config.jam $(LIBS)"
@$(BJAM) $(BJAM_CONFIG) --user-config=user-config.jam $(LIBS) || \
echo "Not all Boost libraries built properly."

clean: .dummy
rm -rf bin.v2

distclean: clean
rm -rf Makefile config.log

check: .dummy
@cd status && ../$(BJAM) $(BJAM_CONFIG) --user-config=../user-config.jam || echo "Some Boost regression tests failed. This is normal for many compilers."

install: .dummy
@echo "$(BJAM) $(BJAM_CONFIG) --user-config=user-config.jam --prefix=$(PREFIX) --exec-prefix=$(EPREFIX) --libdir=$(LIBDIR) --includedir=$(INCLUDEDIR) $(LIBS) install"
@$(BJAM) $(BJAM_CONFIG) --user-config=user-config.jam --prefix=$(PREFIX) --exec-prefix=$(EPREFIX) --libdir=$(LIBDIR) --includedir=$(INCLUDEDIR) $(LIBS) install || echo "Not all Boost libraries built properly."

.dummy:



The Boots libary will not build as they should?

The "missing separator" on line 2 is certainly not visible here. In theory you should use "code tags" so that we can see indents etc properly, but anyway, this looks fine to me.

What does gmake --version print?

Really out of steam here, sorry I can't help more.

Update: Looks like you are not alone with this problem. The Nabble thread suggests simply trying again and again, and again.

Thank you for the advice

I got it to work by installing all the parts separately. Now it works great
:-)
