Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #413: TOP environment variable crashes installation via bjam https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/413 <pre class="wiki">Immediate segmentation fault running bjam! I found the cause: I had TOP=all set as an environment variable. (This tells the UNIX utility 'top' my default settings.) That causes bjam to crash, which prevents installation of boost. I don't mind that bjam uses "TOP", but it shouldn't seg fault. This was not easy to track down. (I compared my environment with that of a friend who could compile boost, and changed everything one at a time. It took hours.) Probably, if somebody else has this problem, he'll never even figure out the cause. So this really needs to be changed.
