I haven't built the TPP on OS X recently, but the build system
contains its own copy of the boost libraries. Can you tell if the TPP
build is using the TPP version of boost or the system library?

(I'd try to debug but my machines are on 10.7 and 10.8)

Hi Natalie,

thanks for the reply. Managed to make it use it's own copy and now it's working fine.

Dear Philipp and Natalie,
I'm trying to help the Mac OS X community with the installation of the TPP with these guidelines: http://tools.proteomecenter.org/wiki/index.php?title=TPP:Installing_the_Trans-Proteomic_Pipeline_%28TPP%29_4.4.0_on_Mac_OS_X_10.6.4

Please feel free to update the page with problems you encountered and the solution you found.
Thanks!
Bjorn

Dear Bjorn,

your guidelines (and the foundations laid by Ulrich) are an awesome contribution.
Thanks for that!

Philipp
