I have tried to install dolfin from macports. It got stuck - looking for "boost." I re-installed boost +mpich. I got all the way through compile.
Now, not all demos work. biharmonic and cahn-hilliard work fine.

TypeError: SWIG director type mismatch in output value of type 'bool'
I posted this on macports as a ticket and the response was to point to swig errors to the "fenics developers." Is this the right venue to get this resolved or some help here?
