GUTS doesn't specify any system requirements, so obviously it has no business trying to use boost from the system. Also note boost is inlined in the vast majority of cases, so most packages simply supply the headers inside as to guarantee the required version is used (which I would certainly expect GUTS to do since it doesn't depend on boost according to the DESCRIPTION).

Cheers,
Simon

Perhaps its brevity will be helpful, and the fact that it seems to identify different error than those flagged in the log at CRAN.

I have added /opt/local/include in Makevars (Mac Ports installation of C source packages), however, I know I should but still I am reluctant to write a configure script that could circumvent non-standard installations of boost on UNIX machines.
