+MongoDB README
+
+Welcome to MongoDB!
+
+COMPONENTS
+
+ mongod - The database process.
+ mongos - Sharding controller.
+ mongo - The database shell (uses interactive javascript).
+
+UTILITIES
+
+ mongodump - MongoDB dump tool - for backups, snapshots, etc..
+ mongorestore - MongoDB restore a dump
+ mongoexport - Export a single collection to test (JSON, CSV)
+ mongoimport - Import from JSON or CSV
+ mongofiles - Utility for putting and getting files from MongoDB GridFS
+ mongostat - Show performance statistics
+
+BUILDING
+
+ See docs/building.md, also www.mongodb.org search for "Building".
+
+RUNNING
+
+ For command line options invoke:
+
+ $ ./mongod --help
+
+ To run a single server database:
+
+ $ mkdir /data/db
+ $ ./mongod
+ $
+ $ # The mongo javascript shell connects to localhost and test database by default:
+ $ ./mongo
+ > help
+
+DRIVERS
+
+ Client drivers for most programming languages are available at mongodb.org. Use the
+ shell ("mongo") for administrative tasks.

+
+32 BIT BUILD NOTES
+
+ MongoDB uses memory mapped files. If built as a 32 bit executable, you will
+ not be able to work with large (multi-gigabyte) databases. However, 32 bit
+ builds work fine with small development databases.
+
+LICENSE
+
+ Most MongoDB source files are made available under the terms of the
+ GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL). See individual files for
+ details.
+
+ As an exception, the files in the client/, debian/, rpm/,
+ utils/mongoutils, and all subdirectories thereof are made available under
+ the terms of the Apache License, version 2.0.

+Building MongoDB
+================
+
+SCONS
+---------------
+
+For detail information about building, please see [the wiki](http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Building).
+
+If you want to build everything (mongod, mongo, tools, etc):
+
+ $ scons .

+Installing MongoDB from source depends on SCons so I installed SCons:

+usage: python [option] ... [-c cmd | -m mod | file | -] [arg] ...
+Options and arguments (and corresponding environment variables):
+-B : don't write .py[co] files on import; also PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=x
+-c cmd : program passed in as string (terminates option list)
+-d : debug output from parser; also PYTHONDEBUG=x
+-E : ignore PYTHON* environment variables (such as PYTHONPATH)
+-h : print this help message and exit (also --help)
+-i : inspect interactively after running script; forces a prompt even
+ if stdin does not appear to be a terminal; also PYTHONINSPECT=x
+-m mod : run library module as a script (terminates option list)
+-O : optimize generated bytecode slightly; also PYTHONOPTIMIZE=x
+-OO : remove doc-strings in addition to the -O optimizations
+-Q arg : division options: -Qold (default), -Qwarn, -Qwarnall, -Qnew
+-s : don't add user site directory to sys.path; also PYTHONNOUSERSITE
+-S : don't imply 'import site' on initialization
+-t : issue warnings about inconsistent tab usage (-tt: issue errors)
+-u : unbuffered binary stdout and stderr; also PYTHONUNBUFFERED=x
+ see man page for details on internal buffering relating to '-u'
+-v : verbose (trace import statements); also PYTHONVERBOSE=x
+ can be supplied multiple times to increase verbosity
+-V : print the Python version number and exit (also --version)
+-W arg : warning control; arg is action:message:category:module:lineno
+-x : skip first line of source, allowing use of non-Unix forms of #!cmd
+-3 : warn about Python 3.x incompatibilities that 2to3 cannot trivially fix
+file : program read from script file
+- : program read from stdin (default; interactive mode if a tty)
+arg ...: arguments passed to program in sys.argv[1:]
+
+Other environment variables:
+PYTHONSTARTUP: file executed on interactive startup (no default)
+PYTHONPATH : ':'-separated list of directories prefixed to the
+ default module search path. The result is sys.path.
+PYTHONHOME : alternate directory (or :).
+ The default module search path uses /pythonX.X.
+PYTHONCASEOK : ignore case in 'import' statements (Windows).
+PYTHONIOENCODING: Encoding[:errors] used for stdin/stdout/stderr.

+I had seen this same issue on my Mac. I needed the C++ boost libraries.
+I downloaded the libraries from this URL:

+
+I unpacked the boost libraries:
