I encountered the following error while trying to install source-highlight package using port. < snip > checking whether the Boost::Regex library is available... no checking boost/shared_ptr.hpp usability... no checking boost/shared_ptr.hpp presence... no checking for boost/shared_ptr.hpp... no < snip > configure: error:

ERROR! Boost::regex library not installed. Please install it (download at http://www.boost.org/) < snip > Hi, the problem is caused by boost 1.34. I've tried it with boost 1.33 a second ago and it worked flawlessly. I've CC'ed Lorenzo Bettini, the developer of source-highlight, maybe he knows a fix (I don't). Kind regards, Elias PS: I think the link you provided was related to a different problem, because it was encountered with v1.33.

Hello!

could you please check where the boost header files are installed? I haven't tried 1.34 yet % dirs ~/MacPorts/include % ls -d boost* boost boost-1_34 % file boost boost: symbolic link to `boost-1_34/boost' % ls boost-1_34/ boost % ls boost-1_34/boost/ algorithm nondet_random.hpp aligned_storage.hpp none.hpp any.hpp numeric archive operators.hpp array.hpp optional assert.hpp optional.hpp assign parameter assign.hpp parameter.hpp bind pending bind.hpp pfto.hpp blank.hpp pointee.hpp blank_fwd.hpp pointer_cast.hpp call_traits.hpp pointer_to_other.hpp cast.hpp pool checked_delete.hpp preprocessor compatibility preprocessor.hpp compressed_pair.hpp program_options concept_archetype.hpp program_options.hpp concept_check.hpp progress.hpp config property_map.hpp config.hpp property_map_iterator.hpp crc.hpp ptr_container cregex.hpp python cstdint.hpp python.hpp cstdlib.hpp random current_function.hpp random.hpp date_time range date_time.hpp range.hpp detail rational.hpp dynamic_bitset ref.hpp dynamic_bitset.hpp regex dynamic_bitset_fwd.hpp regex.h dynamic_property_map.hpp regex.hpp enable_shared_from_this.hpp regex_fwd.hpp filesystem scoped_array.hpp filesystem.hpp scoped_ptr.hpp foreach.hpp serialization format shared_array.hpp format.hpp shared_container_iterator.hpp function shared_ptr.hpp function.hpp signal.hpp function_equal.hpp signals function_output_iterator.hpp signals.hpp functional smart_cast.hpp functional.hpp smart_ptr.hpp generator_iterator.hpp spirit get_pointer.hpp spirit.hpp graph state_saver.hpp implicit_cast.hpp statechart indirect_reference.hpp static_assert.hpp integer static_warning.hpp integer.hpp strong_typedef.hpp integer_fwd.hpp test integer_traits.hpp thread intrusive_ptr.hpp thread.hpp io throw_exception.hpp io_fwd.hpp timer.hpp iostreams token_functions.hpp iterator token_iterator.hpp iterator.hpp tokenizer.hpp iterator_adaptors.hpp tr1 lambda tuple last_value.hpp type.hpp lexical_cast.hpp type_traits limits.hpp type_traits.hpp logic typeof math utility math_fwd.hpp utility.hpp mem_fn.hpp variant mpl variant.hpp multi_array vector_property_map.hpp multi_array.hpp version.hpp multi_index visit_each.hpp multi_index_container.hpp wave multi_index_container_fwd.hpp wave.hpp next_prior.hpp weak_ptr.hpp non_type.hpp xpressive noncopyable.hpp

but this message

checking whether the Boost::Regex library is available... no

says that the compiler can't find the header files, so probably ~/ MacPorts/include should be added to the include path, e.g., with the compiler option -I

I guess...

Urks. This is silly. Configure.cppflags overwrote the default -I$ {prefix}/include with -I${prefix}/include/boost instead of appending it. Removing that line solved the problem. Kind regards, Elias
