Unable to activate port boost. --------------------------+--------------------------- Reporter: z.almeraj@… | Owner: adfernandes@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: boost | --------------------------+--------------------------- Comment (by z.almeraj@…): I did remove the other two boost libraries and now the last version won't remove because of the dependency. What could I do here? {{{ $ sudo port uninstall boost @1.52.0_1+no_single+no_static+python27 ---> Unable to uninstall boost @1.52.0_1+no_single+no_static+python27, the following ports depend on it: ---> cgal @3.6.1_1 ---> cgal @4.0.2_0 ---> lib2geom @0.2.0_1 Error: org.macports.uninstall for port boost returned: Please uninstall the ports that depend on boost first.

Yes I do have macports 2.1.2 installed. My mistake.
Won't unistalling all of them mess up dependencies in other libraries? I use CGAL.
What command would uninstall them all?
Thank you, Zainab
Replying to [comment:2 ryandesign@…]:
Are you really running MacPorts 2.0.3? If so, please use "sudo port selfupdate" to update to MacPorts 2.1.2.
When you have multiple versions of a port installed, you must specify which one you want to uninstall. Try uninstalling all three versions of boost that you have installed, then trying again to install it.
{{{ sudo port selfupdate sudo port clean boost sudo port uninstall boost @1.44.0_0 sudo port uninstall boost @1.50.0_0+no_single+no_static sudo port uninstall boost @1.52.0_1+no_single+no_static+python27 sudo port install boost }}}
