Description John Kristensen 2009-06-28 04:32:05 UTC

Attempting to compile inkscape-0.47_pre0 produces:

checking boost/concept_check.hpp usability... no
checking boost/concept_check.hpp presence... no
checking for boost/concept_check.hpp... no
configure: error: You need the boost package (e.g. libboost-dev)


creating a symlink:
  /usr/include/boost -> /usr/include/boost-1_37/boost/
allows the configure script to detect the files, but I'm sure this isn't the ideal solution

"eselect boost" is what you want.

The new slotted boost (1.35-r5 and later) have this small trouble that the ebuild doesn't set the boost version to use, so apps fail to detect it. There's a bug open for it, but right now users have to manually fix that.
