I'm having problems compiling a program called SDPB by following these instructions. To summarize, I'm installing a program that requires Boost, GMP, and OpenMP on Mac OS X Yosemite. All the individual pieces of code compile but when its time to link, I get Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64.
My question is basically identical to this question. However, I can't get the answers there to work for me. I still get the same error.
After more searching, I saw that people with similar questions were getting answers pointing to a conflict between clang and gcc. More specifically, there are issues with mixing the libraries libstdc++ and libc++.
Therefore, I made sure to recompile both Boost and GMP with gcc so that everything would be built using libstdc++. That didn't help. I then downloaded an implementation of clang that was compatible with OpenMP and tried to build everything using just libc++. That also didn't work. I then tried all sorts of permutations using clang with the -stdlib=libstdc++ flag and so on. Nothing seems to work. The details of the errors seemed to change a bit with the various permuations. I'll post a few snippets below. Of course, I always used the updated makefile to compile SDPB and I always configured GMP with the --enable-cxx flag as the answers linked above said to do.
Here, is a snippet of the error I received while compiling SDPB with gcc after I compiled GMP and Boost with gcc as well.

The Mac OS X Installation instructions have been updated and everything works now if I just blindly follow them to the letter.
