Comment (by mojca@…):

 Replying to [comment:2 jmr@…]:
 > As for allegro, it looks like the dependency may be wrong, as the swig
 docs seem to be saying it supports
 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegro_Common_Lisp Allegro CL], which is
 not [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegro_(software) what the allegro port
 installs].

 Oh, interesting. I didn't check that, I only needed a particular subport.
 Given that MacPorts doesn't provide Allegro CL it probably makes most
 sense to disable allegro altogether. On the other hand it's interesting to
 see that the compilation proceeds successfully on 10.6 even without
 Allegro CL being installed.

 I also noticed that `configure` often reports:
 {{{
 checking for boostlib >= 1.20.0... configure: We could not detect the
 boost libraries (version 1.20 or higher). If you have a staged boost
 library (still not installed) please specify $BOOST_ROOT in your
 environment and do not give a PATH to --with-boost option.  If you are
 sure you have boost installed, then check your version number looking in
 <boost/version.hpp>. See http://randspringer.de/boost for more
 documentation.
 }}}
 Should the port depend on `boost`? (Apparently it's optional, but I wonder
 if it compiles differently if boost is present.)

 I'm also sorry for the wrong report about the other two dependencies. I
 wasn't careful enough when looking for the cause of the error(s). Thanks
 for pointing it out.

 What should be done with this ticket? Left open until the other two ports
 are brought back to life?
