I'm trying to compile it on my macbook pro and getting the error mentioned in title.
I searched online and found linux users using --with-boost= in ./configure command with path. I tried the same but got same result.
Please help me fix this issue.
I have macOS 10.12.6 followed the build-osx doc till ./configure part.
