Do you have anything installed into /usr/local/? That typically won't work w/ macports

Also attach the complete main.log - it builds here on High Sierra

complete log

[arademaker (Alexandre Rademaker)]

I do have some tools installed in the /usr/local, can you be more specific about what can be causing the error?

[kurthindenburg (Kurt Hindenburg)]

Just by your paste this doesn't look good: /usr/local/lib/libboost_date_time-mt.dylib', needed by `libledger.3.dylib'. Stop.

Do you have boost installed outside of macports?

The locate command (after the forced sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb) gives me only:

We can't necessarily trust that error message No rule to make target `/usr/local/lib/libboost_date_time-mt.dylib', needed by `libledger.3.dylib' because it resulted from an unclean build attempt. The attached log contains an earlier clean build attempt which ends with these errors:
