Description
OQGraph in 5.3 needs boost 1.40 or later, otherwise it's not built.
In 5.5 it needs boost 1.45.
We have 1.42 on all our package-building VMs.
As a result, all 5.5. binary packages don't have OQGraph.
VMs need to be updated to have the newer boost.
See http://kb.askmonty.org/en/installing-the-boost-library-needed-for-the-oqgraph-storage-engine
When upgrading boost, update the above KB page too.
OQGraph fails to compile with a new Boost. We're waiting for Anthony to fix it.

I've documented what I did to upgrade the VMs here: https://kb.askmonty.org/en/installing-the-boost-library-needed-for-the-oqgraph-storage-engine
The problem report is confusing: it self-contradicts, and notes other unlikely scenarios. Therefore it's not clear what needs to be done to fix the problem, if indeed there is a problem.
a) why would the same OQGraph code in a different MariaDB branch suddenly require a different version of Boost? (MariaDB 5.5 needing Boost 1.45 - where is that requirement seen?)
b) on the one hand it's stated that OQGraph does not build with a new Boost, but all the Boost versions listed are higher than the minimum requirement that OQGraph code has.
c) Serg writes "OQGraph fails to build or crashes in tests in different VMs. In a couple of VMs it passes all tests." - it'd be handy to know what status it has in which environments, and what the build errors are, and test crash reports?
Please will the people who detected the issues provide the info they saw, so someone can actually fix it?
Come on guys - if you get a bug report of this nature, can you magically resolve it?
Your help is appreciated. thanks
Arjen, I've created new bug for this. Please see MDEV-336 for details
oqgraph is now in debs (on distributions with a sufficiently new gcc, e.g not on hardy)
oqgraph is now in debs in bintars, where possible
It looks like the current version of Boost (according to http://www.boost.org/ ) is 1.49. Is that OK? or do we need 1.45 exactly?
