I haven't been using inkscape for quite some time, so not sure when did it happen, but now it won't start at all, crashing. I ran revdep-rebuild -p recently cleaning up the mess of KDE4+Xorg upgrade. Trying to get inkscape back into working condition I tried to rebuild it only to find it failing to build complaining about missing boost package. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge inkscape Actual Results: configure: error: You need the boost package (e.g. libboost-dev) !!!

If 'eselect boost set 1' prints errors about symlinks being files (or similar), then solution of your problem would be going into /usr/lib, removing unversioned boost libs (unversioned should be symlinks) and calling 'eselect boost set 1' once you're done.

Doing that actually removed some dead symlinks by itself: ~> eselect boost set 1 Removing symlinks from old version Creating symlinks for boost-1.35/default media-gfx/inkscape-0.46-r5 emerged correctly after this step.
