PowerDNS 3.02 and FreeBSD 9.0 (missing libboost_serialization.so)

I've configured PowerDNS 3.02 with FreeBSD 9.0 (within a jail) and got the following error:

Code: 
Shared object "libboost_serialization.so" not found, 
required by "pdns_server"/usr/local/etc/rc.d/pdns: WARNING: failed to start pdns

(I didn't have this problem with FreeBSD 8.2 and probably the previous version of PowerDNS.)

It worked after I added the package "boost-libs". Does anyone know why this is change or this is necessary? Thanks!
 
PowerDNS relies heavily on many of the boost libraries and has done so for many years. The dependency on libboost_serialization is new in 3.0, however. Presumably you were running 2.9.22 or the like on your previous setup.

If you installed PowerDNS from a package or port, and did not get boost-libs with it automatically, this may indicate a missing dependency in the port.
 
It's built with devel/boost-lib as a build dependency but not as a library dependency. If you installed dns/powerdns as a package it won't get installed.

Code: 
BUILD_DEPENDS=	bjam:${PORTSDIR}/devel/boost-jam \
		[b]${LOCALBASE}/include/boost/shared_ptr.hpp:${PORTSDIR}/devel/boost-libs[/b] \
		${LOCALBASE}/lib/libcryptopp.a:${PORTSDIR}/security/cryptopp
LIB_DEPENDS=	botan.0:${PORTSDIR}/security/botan

Contact the port maintainer, he's the one that can fix it.
