 Priority:  High                        |   Milestone:  Port Bugs                            
Component:  ports                       |     Version:  1.6.0                                
 Keywords:  boost symlink libs .dylib   |  
----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
 The Port install of Boost 1_34_1 places 208 libboost* library files in
 /opt/local/lib. For each boost library 4  .dylib files are created and
 another 8 symlinks/aliases to those dynamic libraries.

 After installing boost using macports on 10.5.2 using the workaround for
 the boost bug here:

  * Tickets: #13714

 it appears that all the symlinks created point to a screwy location. For
 example here is the output of the ls command for the libboost_filesystem:
