Can you sudo port -dv install boost by itself, not as a dependency of another port?

[adfernandes (Andrew Fernandes)]

Thanks.

In the above failure, the shell script leaves a log in /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_boost/main.log. Can you please attach this log?

I just tried building and have no problems myself.

(BTW - debugging boost builds is generally quite painful, so I really need your help for this!)

[stooee+macports@…]

the main.log is already attached. do i need to attach a 3rd one?

[adfernandes (Andrew Fernandes)]

No, no... silly me, my mistake - sorry! I was trying to get the error output of the bootstrap.sh command.

Hmm... I'm not sure why this is failing. There appears to be no debugging output other than "booststrap.sh" returned a nonzero error... hmm... let me think about this...

[adfernandes (Andrew Fernandes)]

I tried reproducing, and could not reproduce the error.

In the meantime, I updated boost to 1.47.0 (see #30202).

My suggestion is to clean and upgrade your entire macports tree. Use something like:

sudo port -vd clean all
sudo port -vd selfupdate
sudo port -vd upgrade outdated

and then try to install boost.
