Description Gen Zhang 2004-03-23 04:38:21 UTC
In older versions of the boost libraries, there was no given install procedure, and so a(n extremely) hacked method was used to "manually" move the relevant files into place. However, a little noted feature of 1.31.0 is the presence of a new set of install procedures. See http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started.html#Build_Install. This, with a little bit of manual work, should be a much more stable and forwards-compatible way to install.

can you please look if 1.32.0 ebuild is more like what you are after?

Just cleaning up after myself.
