Unable to install source-highlight on Mac OS Sierra

[piazzean (Andrea Piazzesi)]

Installing inkscape from port with the command:

$ sudo port install inkscape

I get the following error :

...
Error: org.macports.build for port source-highlight returned: command execution failed
Error: Failed to install source-highlight
Please see the log file for port source-highlight for details:

In the future, please fill in the Port field with the port that actually fails to build and Cc that port's maintainers (port info --maintainers source-highlight), if any.

And also use WikiFormatting.

This is not a clean build log. Please clean the port and try again. Then attach the new main.log file.

Tried the following commands:

$ sudo port clean source-highlight
$ sudo port install source-highlight

I got the same error as you can verify from the updated log.

Do you have anything installed in your /usr/local folder such as boost? If so, please move or delete it.

[piazzean (Andrea Piazzesi)]

I temporary moved the content from /usr/local to ~/local and now the port works fine.

Thanks for the hint.

Andrea.

Glad you got it working.
