Boost 1.59.0 breaks PostGIS 2.1.7_1

[sethdeckard]

Upgraded packages today and found Boost 1.59 breaks current PostGIS install:

could not load library "/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.4.5/lib/postgis-2.1.so": 
dlopen(/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.4.5/lib/postgis-2.1.so, 10): 
Symbol not found: 
__ZN5boost7archive21basic_binary_iarchiveINS0_15binary_iarchiveEE13load_overrideERNS0_15class_name_typeEi

Switching back to 1.58.0 works.

I'm seeing the exact same thing. Literally just came here to report it.

Can either of you brew reinstall postgis -s and let us know if that resolves the error for you, Thanks.

[gfairchild]

Still getting the error.

[gfairchild]

For what it's worth, I've tried totally uninstalling postgres, postgis, and boost, and reinstalling all of them, and the error is still present.

[DomT4]

Hmm. How is postgis picking the Boost libraries up? There's no explicit dependency in the formula, should there be?

[oyeanuj]

Getting the exact same issue as well.

[gfairchild]

@DomT4, I'm not sure exactly, but if you brew uninstall postgres postgis boost and then brew install postgis, postgres and boost are both automatically downloaded and installed.

Could it have anything to do with SFCgal, which is a dependency to postgis I think. See the error here: http://stackoverflow.com/q/33491836/2075003

I had a similar error.

brew switch boost 1.58.0

worked for me.

This should be fixed by #45611. (Specifically https://github.com/xu-cheng/homebrew/commit/cbad3819c9fa88e39fc2ba4710788fd008b01bd9)

[gfairchild]

Excellent, it'll be nice to get that merged. Thanks for your work, @xu-cheng :)

[ivorbosloper]

@rebelliard brew switch boost 1.58.0 worked for me as well. Thanks!

[regularRichi]

I am having the same problem right now, is there a fix?

brew switch boost 1.58.0

doesn't work for me:

Error: boost does not have a version "1.58.0" in the Cellar.
Versions available: 1.59.0

[bfontaine]

@gazz94 brew switch only works for installed versions.

[gormster]

brew uninstall boost
brew tap homebrew/versions
brew install boost155
brew link --force boost155

worked for me.
