boehm-gc-7.1                   Garbage collection and memory leak detection for C and C++

>Description:
Compiling/installing the mathematical package math/sage fails due to an configure error, see below. First guess was that package deve/boehm was foul, so I recompiled devel/boehm. But it doesn't change things. Compilation still fails.

************************************************************************
Please email sage-devel (http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel)
explaining the problem and including the relevant part of the log file
  /usr/ports/math/sage/work/sage-5.8/spkg/logs/ecl-12.12.1.p1.log
Describe your computer, operating system, etc.
If you want to try to fix the problem yourself, *don't* just cd to
/usr/ports/math/sage/work/sage-5.8/spkg/build/ecl-12.12.1.p1 and type 'make' or whatever is appropriate.
Instead, the following commands setup all environment variables
correctly and load a subshell for you to debug the error:
  (cd '/usr/ports/math/sage/work/sage-5.8/spkg/build/ecl-12.12.1.p1' && '/usr/ports/math/sage/work/sage-5.8/sage' -sh)
When you are done debugging, you can type "exit" to leave the subshell.
