Mongo db connect() seg faults in OSX

Question

I recently moved to mac, I am working in a c++ app that uses MongoDB.

The code worked in Ubuntu but when I rum it on MAC I get segmentation faults when trying to connect, I do not even get exceptions (which I am catching).

The server is up and running and if I connect it trough pymongo or the mongo shell it works ok and I can read the collections.

I get the seg fault here :

conn = new mongo::DBClientConnection();
conn->connect(url,err_msg);

It does not matter if url = "localhost" , "localhost:27017", etc... it always seg faults when I call connect and the object (conn) is instantiated and allocated correctly which I double checked.

is there any known issues with the latest c++ driver and mac osx mountain lion? Do I perhaps need to sign my application or run it as root?

Thanks in advance

Try building mongo-cxx-driver from github with these options:

sudo scons --libc++ --c++11=on --cpppath=/opt/local/include --libpath=/opt/local/lib --prefix=/opt/local install
