 > In addition to installing the {{{boost176}}} port you need to install
 the {{{boost}}} port. It provides the symlinks from the actual location of
 {{{boost176}}} to the "expected" location ({{{/opt/local/include}}} and
 such)  .

 back.

 No, your suggestion here is incorrect. The "original" {{{boost}}} port
 will disappear eventually (it provides version 1.71 and there are no
 "symlinks" or anything happening therre) and pretty much all ports have
 migrated to use the {{{boost}}} PG. Currently, different versions of
 {{{boost}}} can be installed simultaneously and ports can depend on
 whichever version they need. But... you should not need the {{{boost}}}
 port anymore and installing that to "solve" a problem will not work.

 This port depends on {{{boost176}}} which is the latest upstream version.
 If that is actually the issue in that it doesn't build with the latest
 version, then it can be told to use {{{boost171} instead.
