Dear all, I was trying to install Kde4 on my wife's mac and during the installation I met this error on boost 1.44 package... I started the batch in "sudo" mode (sudo port install boost) and this is what I got after a while:

I do not know whether is a package problem, an environment problem or a macport issue. I ran in DEBUG mode and there is no previous error listed...

Thank you

Can you verify the disk using Disk Utility? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/26545#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

My advice to you would be to: * Make sure you have everything backed up! * Boot the mac in [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455 safe mode]. This will force a filesystem check. (I've had errors like this before, very very rarely, where all the hard-linking that MacPorts does messes up the link structure of the HFS+ volume). * Verify the SMART status of the drive. There is a SMART report utility in MacPorts. Alternatively, there is [http://www.corecode.at/smartreporter/ SMARTreporter] (free) and [http://www.volitans-software.com/ SMART Utility] (payware). The latter gives you more information, I think. If the SMART error log on the disk (you need to really look in the SMART logs on the disk to find them; they often don't show up with the simple 'red-light/green-light' utilities) then the disk definitely needs replacement. Really, I can think of lots of things that make a port fail to install, but ''not'' with an `I/O error`. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/26545#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

The SMART "conditions" are often not exceeded, even when the drive is failing. Try installing the `smartmontools` port, and using the `smartctl -a [disk]` command. Look carefully at the disk's internal error log. Frequently, drives record media errors but then do '''not''' report SMART problems. That's happened to me twice.
