Description:   Opened: 2008-01-16 09:27 0000 
When building Macauley-1.0 with having only <boehm-gc-7* installed, configure
fails due to missing >boehm-gc-7*


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge boehm-gc-6.8
2. emerge Macaulay-1.0
3.

Actual Results:  
emerge fails during configure


An easy fix is to update the Macauley2-1.0 ebuild and replace the dependency

dev-libs/boehm-gc
by
>=dev-libs/boehm-gc-7*

Don't see any such ebuild anywhere in the official tree; where does it come
from?

I'm sorry, the name is sci-mathematics/Macaulay2 with an "a" in the end.

Thanks for your bug report. This was actually a problem with the
ebuild itself, since Macaulay2 will build fine with boehm-gc-6*.
This should be fixed now in portage cvs.

Please give it a try in an hour or so and reopen if you are
still having problems.

Thanks,
Markus
