I/O error on boost 1.44 installation

[nicola.degara@…]

Dear all,

I was trying to install Kde4 on my wife's mac and during the installation I met this error on boost 1.44 package...

I started the batch in "sudo" mode (sudo port install boost) and this is what I got after a while:

DEBUG: installing file: /opt/local/var/macports/software/boost/1.44.0_0/opt/local/lib/libboost_graph.a

    (procedure "portinstall::install_main" line 20)
    invoked from within
"$procedure $targetname"

I do not know whether is a package problem, an environment problem or a macport issue. I ran in DEBUG mode and there is no previous error listed...

Thank you

I/O error often means a problem with your hard disk. Can you verify the disk using Disk Utility?
