Fitter_dnsg.cc does not compile on OS X

Hello,

I've installed gcc, gfortran, and boost using anaconda. The python setup script fails with status 1 almost immediately:

Could you comment on how you installed gfortran, gcc and boost from conda? Then we could try to reproduce this. In particular, gfortran is not in a default channel, which one did you install?

[kdpenner]

Boost was easy: conda install boost. So was gcc: conda install gcc. gfortran is included with conda's gcc package.

This error occurs because PyBDSF was written for an older version of the Boost.Python library. Boost 1.65 has been reported to discontinue boost/python/numeric.hpp in favor of similar numpy functionality. Compiling using an installation of Boost 1.63 should work.

I installed boost 1.61.0, the version previous to 1.65.1 that conda has, and compiled PyBDSF. Yet when I try to run it I get a mysterious "Illegal instruction: 4" error and never see the PyBDSF prompt. I've compiled the software on OS 10.12 and most of the libraries seem made for 10.6. Is this a problem?
