Synopsys: boost-jam emerges fine however the associated jam files (installed by dev-libs/boost in /usr/share/boost by default) are not installed by boost-jam. Rationale: Since I have three separate installations of boost that I am using for various projects, I wanted to maintain boost-jam independantly. As boost-jam is currently installed, it requires dev/libs/boost to be also installed. Replication: 1) unmerge boost if installed 2) emerge boost-jam 3) look for boost-build.jam or other .jam utilities and tools... they are not installed. Workaround: emerging boost solves most problems (will address other issues in another report). This can be done easily by adding a dependency: DEPEND="dev-libs/boost !dev-util/jam" I think a better solution would be to install the associated .jam files which are installed as part of boost. The advantage is that boost-jam could be installed and used on small installations without having to also load the boost libraries (which are rather large).
