Building boost with macports falls causes a cc1plus process to run forever. Anyone know anything about this? (BTW, port is version 1.710 and I'm running OS X 10.5.6 with kernel 9.6.0)

$ port install boost

Have you tried running sudo port -d install boost to enable debug messages in hopes of finding out what it's stuck on?

  • Just tried that but neither -v or -d (or both) show more output.

  • Oh, it's actually "port -d install", not "port install -d". I'm running it at the moment.

    A lot of files are being compiled; perhaps it just takes a long time. I'm still monitoring it.

    OK, it finished. Took half an hour but it finished. Thanks for the suggestion, I'd consider that the answer ;-)
