source-highlight 3.1.7 install fails because boost references libicuuc.51.dylib

In the course of a port upgrade outdated, upgrading source-highlight failed for me. The first sign of trouble in the log file is here:

:info:build ../src/source-highlight --data-dir ../src/ -s java -f html  --style-file ../src/default.style  < ./Hello.java > Hello5.html --title "Wooo... this is quite dark ;-D" --css "mono-alt.css"

While poking around I discovered that libicuuc.51.dylib did not exist in /opt/local/lib, but locate thought it did. I rebuilt the locate database, then ran port clean and port install, but the problem persists.

Your boost port is referencing libraries from version 51 of icu. How is that possible? The current version of icu is 53. Please run "sudo port selfupdate" to make sure you have the latest port definitions, then run "sudo port upgrade boost". If boost does not upgrade, then I suspect you somehow overwrote your MacPorts-installed boost libraries with other copies of those libraries built earlier, perhaps due to a badly-made third-party installer; in that case, try running "sudo port rev-upgrade" to fix any problems.

Thanks for the pointer to boost. I had a later version of that port that was inactive. Activating the most recent boost port took care of the problem.
