Error with mongoexport on OS X

[Joel]

On Mac OS 10.6.4 I am getting the error "too many positional options"
when using mongoexport with a remote host. I am using version 1.6.1
but I get the same error with a recent nightly build and the just
released 1.6.2. The full command I'm using is of the form

mongoexport -h [host:port] -d [database] -u [user] -p [password] -c
[collection] -o [output]

It works when I run the same command on linux. I think the error may
be related to the password parameter since the error goes away when I
don't include the password, but then of course I get an authentication
failure.

This is a shot in the dark, but does your password have spaces in it?
If so you'll need to wrap it in quotes to pass at the command line.

Your password might contain spaces or special characters that are
interpreted as options. Is this reproducible with a simple password ?

The password just has alpha characters. Wrapping it in quotes
doesn't help.

I should add that this worked in version 1.4.

I can't reproduce this. Can you send the complete invocation that
you're using? Obviously change out the auth info but just want to see
if there's anything obviously different between what you're doing and
what is working for me.

This turned out to be a boost verison issue.

Working on getting the 64-bit os x builder to use a new version.

Good to know. Thanks.
