I just built the package fine after dropping the hwloc and openmpi dependencies, removing -lboost_graph_parallel from the CXXFLAGS attached to make, and removing --with-boost from configure since it was saying it was invalid anyway (configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-boost). If this works fine for you, the package won't be depending on and using a version of the graphing library designed for computations that are orders of magnitude more complex than graphing DNS hit statistics.

Hi,
2012/11/12 Kevin Mihelich <kevin@archlinuxarm.org>:
Is there a reason why a DNS server needs to be built against a version of the boost graph library, which is designed for large-scale distributed, parallel graph generation[1] for the high performance computing world? This doesn't come across as being right to me. [1] http://osl.iu.edu/research/pbgl/
When building pdns, it fails, because it does not recognize boost 1.50.0. After searching through /usr/lib with objdump, these are the libraries that had the symbols needed to make pdns build: -lboost_graph_parallel -lboost_serialization -lboost_program_options
Here is the bug report for pdns: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/32492 And the upstream bug report: http://wiki.powerdns.com/trac/ticket/612
If you don't think the current way pdns is being built is right, what do you suggest?
