After a system update today, revdep-rebuild needs to rebuild rb_libtorrent. $ emerge -pv1 =net-libs/rb_libtorrent-0.15.10 These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild UD ] net-libs/rb_libtorrent-0.15.10 [0.16.5] USE="doc ssl -debug -examples -python -static-libs" 0 kB But the build fails at the configure stage: ... checking whether -lpthread fixes that... yes Checking for boost libraries: configure: error: --with-boost-libdir expected directory name Since the supplied directory (/usr/lib64/boost-1_49) does not exist: * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 85: Called src_configure * environment, line 4785: Called econf '--disable-debug' '--disable- tests' '--disable-examples' '--disable-python-binding' '--enable-encryption' '--disable-static' '--with-zlib=system' '--with-boost=/usr/include /boost-1_49' '--with-boost-libdir=/usr/lib64/boost-1_49' '--with-boost- system=boost_system-mt' '--with-boost-filesystem=boost_filesystem-mt' '--with- boost-thread=boost_thread-mt' '--with-boost-python=boost_python--mt' The boost handling was changed in the 0.16.x ebuilds, and 0.16.5 installs fine.
This should be already fixed in tree, sorry for the delay.
