Trouble installing boost on Leopard using macports

Question

Building boost with macports falls causes a cc1plus process to run forever. Anyone know anything about this? (BTW, port is version 1.710 and I'm running OS X 10.5.6 with kernel 9.6.0)

$ port install boost

Have you tried running sudo port -d install boost to enable debug messages in hopes of finding out what it's stuck on?

Just tried that but neither -v or -d (or both) show more output. – user7965 Jun 04 '09 at 18:52
Oh, it's actually "port -d install", not "port install -d". I'm running it at the moment. – user7965 Jun 04 '09 at 18:54

A lot of files are being compiled; perhaps it just takes a long time. I'm still monitoring it. – user7965 Jun 04 '09 at 19:09

OK, it finished. Took half an hour but it finished. Thanks for the suggestion, I'd consider that the answer ;-) – user7965 Jun 04 '09 at 20:08
Sorry bout the flag in the incorrect position. Bad memory. – Chealion Jun 05 '09 at 04:24
