When emerging boost-1.33.1 (using python 2.5, not sure if this has anything to do with it but I had a friend test with python 2.4 and it built. This is what it exits with. If posting the entire emerge helps, just ask. FileClone /var/tmp/portage/boost-1.33.1/image/usr/include/boost/dynamic_bitset/config.hpp ...failed updating 3 targets... ...skipped 4 targets... ...updated 3608 targets...
I can confirm that this is a problem. By changing $PYVER in the boost-1.33.1.ebuild to 2.4 instead of 2.5, boost will build and install just fine.
It appears I'm experiencing this bug as well. I have yet to try building with python-2.4.
Also seeing this bug with python 2.5. Forcing 2.4 seems to fix the problem.
I realized that I was using python 2.4 (doh!) and filed a separate bug for my issue. Anyways, you guys probably want to attach a build log as it's pretty hard to diagnose a boost compilation problem without a log.
Created attachment 101015 [details] Failing log This log is with python 2.5, and demonstrates the fail.
Created attachment 101016 [details] Working log This log is with python 2.4 hardcoded, and demonstrates boost compiling successfully.
Fixed in CVS for version 1.33.1-r1. Please give it some time to hit the mirrorrs, resync and emerge. Thanks for reporting. (btw: v1.34.* of boost does compile with v2.5 of python)
