emerge -va media-gfx/inkscape fails with this output:

checking boost/concept_check.hpp presence... no
checking for boost/concept_check.hpp... no

This bug seems to have come back. I'm trying to build inkscape-0.47

problem in app-admin/eselect-boost, probably:

emerge -Ca =dev-libs/boost-1.35.0-r5 did the trick for me
