Comment(by tanks4dat@…):

 I encountered the same configuration error when attempting to compile
 libtorrent-rasterbar @0.15.6.  I incorrectly filled a new ticket, #29779.
 I should have added new information to the existing ticket when there is
 one,
 rather than opening a duplicate.

 while attempting to install libtorrent-rasterbar by the command sudo port
 install
 libtorrent-rasterbar the terminal presents a configure failure.  Here is
 the
 portion of the output where the configure fails:

  {{{
  info:configure Checking for boost libraries:
  :info:configure checking for boostlib >= 1.36... yes
  :info:configure checking whether the Boost::System library is
 available...yes
  :info:configure configure: error: Boost.System library not found. Try
  using --with-boost-system=lib
  }}}

  I tried
  {{{
  sudo port install libtorrent-rasterbar --with-boost-system=lib
  }}}
  failure

  Ticket #27858 documents the same problem, but the solution presented:

  {{{
  a solution that worked for me is to add the following line to the
  configure.args section of the Portfile

  --with-boost-libdir="/opt/local/lib"
  }}}

  did not work for me.  rasterbar still fails to find the boost.system
  library.

 Reading the libtorrent manual found at libtorrent-
 rasterbar-0.15.6/docs/building.html
 (/opt/local/var/macports/build_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org
 _release_ports_net_libtorrent-rasterbar/work/libtorrent-
 rasterbar-0.15.6/docs/building.html
 if you want to find it in the macports /opt filesystem) I read this

 {{{
 when installing boost on darwin using darwinports (the package system
 based on BSD ports)
 all libraries are installed to /opt/local/lib and headers are installed to
 /opt/local/include.
 By default the compiler will not look in these directories. You have to
 set the enviornment
 variables LDFLAGS and CXXFLAGS in order to make the compiler find those
 libs. In this
 example you'd set them like this:

 export LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib
 export CXXFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include
 }}}

 In my instance this failed.

 I continue to work on a solution.
