boost @1.59.0_2 (devel) +mpich ld: file not found -- build failure

[artur.palha@…]

Hello!

I have tried to install boost @1.59.0_2 using:

sudo port -v install boost +mpich

This fails reporting:

ld: file not found: /opt/local/lib/libboost_chrono-mt.dylib for architecture x86_64

Yesterday I installed boost exactly in the same way without any issues (starting from a clean macports install). I uninstalled macports and repeated the process again today and it failed with this error.

Was there any change made to the port since yesterday?

I am on OSX 10.9.5 with XCode 6.2.

No changes have been made to the boost port since last month.

Sean, mpich is your thing... any ideas? I don't recognize this error. Don't know why the build of boost would be looking for an already-installed boost library.

I'm having a similar problem. When I look at the log file it says:

This showed up when I began rebuilding my macports installation after upgrading to el capitan.

Can someone verify or refute that this ticket's issue is still relevant? I can't replicate it on the current MacPorts boost (1.66.0) on 10.9, 10.12, or 10.13 -- all latest updates & MacPorts at latest GIT master branches (port and base).

I still get the error without the ​fix.

macOS 10.13.6
Xcode 9.4.1
MacPorts 2.5.3
port install boost +mpich

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

OK thx. Can you attach your build log, just so I can compare / contrast with mine? Wondering what the difference(s) is/are ...

[MarcusCalhoun-Lopez (Marcus Calhoun-Lopez)]

Attached is the build log.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

got it thx. I'll review tomorrow.
