yep, seems like a known problem.

------- Comment #2 From Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2003-12-13 17:00:25 0000 ------- 
george, can you also have a look at this boost issue with python-2.3 and see if
there's an appropriate patch in CVS we can backport, or have a snapshot?

thanks

------- Comment #3 From James 2003-12-16 08:52:31 0000 ------- 
According to the boost web site. http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/
Section starting: -
Note for Python 2.3 users
This is a bugfix release only, and is not compatible with Python 2.3. Boost 1.31.0, which will be compatible with Python 2.3, is due out shortly. In the meantime, if you need Python 2.3 compatibility, we suggest you get a CVS snapshot, either from the SourceForge anonymous CVS or from our mirror, updated nightly:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@boost-consulting.com:/boost login
no password; just hit return

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@boost-consulting.com:/boost co boost


My suggestion, is we take the cvs snapshot, create a patch file against 1.30.2
and then create a 1.30.2-r2 ebuild from it, to work with python2.3, because python2.3 is the current gentoo version.

------- Comment #4 From George Shapovalov 2003-12-19 08:44:43 0000 ------- 
Ok, I grabbed the recent cvs snapshot and uploaded it to
/space/distfiles-local. It seems to build, so it will have to do until 1.31 is
released.
BTW, 1.30.2-r2 is not a proper version, as this is different code underneath,
not just ebuild revision. I named it 1.31.0_alpha1, as this is what it
effectively is, (and using the date instead of alpha would screw future
updates).

Please test.

George

------- Comment #5 From James 2003-12-19 20:13:25 0000 ------- 
It now emerges boost, so thanks.
emerge -s boost
*  dev-libs/boost
      Latest version available: 1.31.0_alpha1
      Latest version installed: 1.31.0_alpha1

I have not tested it's actual functionallity yet.

------- Comment #6 From George Shapovalov 2004-03-16 23:53:44 0000 ------- 
Release is out and in stable, closing the bug..
