error from Boost #7172

angjelo commented at 8:09 PM on December 4, 2015: none

After I type any bitcoind command i get this error: Assertion failed: (pthread_mutex_lock(&m_) == 0), function lock, file /usr/local/include/boost/signals2/detail/lwm_pthreads.hpp, line 60. Abort trap: 6

Any suggestions? Thanks

What's your version of boost? What OS? Which binaries?

Well, your bitcoin binaries. Where did you get bitcoind from? Did you compile it yourself?

Follow the guide for compiling on Mac OSX:
README_osx.txt
build-osx.md

You can also try the static binaries from: https://bitcoin.org/en/download
They should work with no issues.

Ok cool thank you... do you think that it would be easier if I use linux? Cause I can install it pretty quick in a virtual machine..

It really depends on how you want to use it. Try it out yourself and see what you prefer.

@angjelo: did you had luck compiling bitcoin-core? It looks like that you are missing parts of the boost library.

I guess you need to install/upgrade (to) the newest version of homebrew (brew upgrade) and install all the dependencies (brew install autoconf automake berkeley-db4 libtool boost miniupnpc openssl pkg-config protobuf qt5 libevent); check this https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-osx.md.

Bitcoin-core compiles fine on osx 10.10, 10.11.
