Boost 1.49 Configure fails during "sudo port upgrade outdated" stopping process cold

[cc70458@…]

Gentlepersons (and violent persons too...),

I find myself unable to do an update outdated, or update boost, individual packages can be done individually but I cannot locate the root cause for the sudden error. I even tried setting the xcode source and reinstalling the 10.7.3 update just in case. Stil no joy on this particular issue. I have attached all the relevant information I could think of below.

Thank you in advance for your assistance, and the assured gentle reminder of my IQ moving in the inverse direction of my age,

This crops up every once in a while.

The problem is the go port (see #30203 and #31689, for example). The go port installs a header it shouldn't in A Bad Place.

The solution is to either uninstall go, deactivate it, or (possibly) upgrade the go port to the latest; I think the problem is fixed in the latest go port.
