sudo port install source-highlight +universal - Failed to install boost

[david@…]

From a clean macport folder (after call 'sudo port uninstall all' and 'sudo port uninstall PARTICULAR_VERSION') I tried to install source-highlight as universal and failed on install boost (MacOSX 10.11.3 + Xcode 7.2.1).

Yes, the folder:

/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_devel_boost/boost/work

exist, but is empty..... This is the reason of the message:

Error: org.macports.install for port boost returned: no destroot found at ....
