 Installing Inkscape is consistently failing.
 I have completely deleted my MacPorts Installation and started fresh, yet
 I get the following error:

 {{{
 --->  Building boost
 error reading "file12": no such device or address
 Log for boost is at:

 }}}

 Then when I try to repeat the command I get the following and the computer
 crashes completely:
 {{{
 genomics08:~ raramayo$ sudo port install Inkscape
 sudo: can't stat /etc/sudoers: Device not configured
 }}}

 After this I lose control of the machine via terminal.
 Commands like "sudo su" or "who" do not work anymore. The messages I get
 are like this one:

 {{{
 "bash: /usr/bin/who: Operation not permitted"
 }}}

 and the only way to re-gain control is to reboot the machine

Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Please use WikiFormatting so your posts are legible.

 You have something extremely strange going on with your machine, but I
 have no idea what it is. You may wish to attach the main.log files for
 boost and gtk2 as referenced in the above error messages; perhaps they
 contain useful information.
