Comment (by mouse07410):

 > 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.

 I have some code that uses Boost. This symlink
 {{{
 $ ll /opt/local/include/boost
 lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin  43 Jun 26 02:32 /opt/local/include/boost@ ->
 /opt/local/libexec/boost/1.76/include/boost
 $
 }}}
 appeared only after installing the port {{{boost}}} **in addition** to
 {{{boost176}}}.

 From description of the {{{boost}}} port:

 > This port is just a shim port, **installing symbolic links** to the
 include area and libraries provided by the boost176 port.
