 I met boost building issue when trying to build mlpack. So I searched
 online and found a similar post which has the same problem as mine, which
 is: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19912862/compiling-boostprogram-
 options-on-mac-os-x-with-g-4-8-mac-ports

 When I'm trying to do the solution the comment suggest which is compile
 boost by gcc48 by having the command line {{{sudo port -ns upgrade --force
 boost configure.compiler=macports-gcc-4.8}}}, but macports failed by
 showing the output as
 {{{
 --->  Computing dependencies for boost
 The following dependencies will be installed:  gcc48
 Continue? [Y/n]: y
 Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.
 }}}
 I'm lost and don't know what to do now. Please send some help
