Boost-1_37_0 and 1_38_0 Fail to Build

[erick205@…]

Boost 1_37_0 and, now, 1_38_0 both fail to build with the following error:

% sudo port install boost +icu +python25
--->  Fetching boost
--->  Attempting to fetch boost_1_38_0.tar.bz2 from http://distfiles.macports.org/boost
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for boost
--->  Extracting boost
--->  Applying patches to boost
--->  Configuring boost
--->  Building boost
--->  Staging boost into destroot
Error: Target org.macports.destroot returned: no files matched glob pattern "*.dylib"
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

The system is:

{{{% uname -a Darwin aesop 9.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.6.0: Mon Nov 24 17:37:00 PST 2008; root:xnu-1228.9.59~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386 MacPro1,1 Darwin }}}

The XCode version is 3.1.2. And g++ reports:

% g++ --version

Building boost outside the port infrastructure seems to work fine. Attempting to rebuild without any variant options yields the same results:

% sudo port install boost
--->  Applying patches to boost
--->  Configuring boost
--->  Building boost
--->  Staging boost into destroot
Error: Target org.macports.destroot returned: no files matched glob pattern "*.dylib"
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

FYI, it installs fine for me with just +python25 with a similar setup. Can you try without the +icu variant to try to narrow it down?

sudo port clean boost
sudo port install boost +python25

Also, do you have python_select installed and python25 selected?

python_select -s

Finally, make sure your macports is updated since you indicated you are running 1.7.0, not the latest version which is 1.7.1.

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port upgrade outdated
