Bug 270818 – boost 1.37 needed to be eselected by hand

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Stephen J. Turnbull 2009-05-22 12:09:41 UTC]

Openoffice 3.1.0 repeatedly failed to emerge.
The symptom was configure bailing out, looking for an <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>.
"find /usr/include -name shared_ptr.hpp" found it immediately at /usr/include/boost-1_37/boost/shared_ptr.hpp.
Looking at the path found, obviously #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> won't work.
After doing "eselect boost set 1", the build is proceeded.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge openoffice
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
checking which boost to use... external
checking boost/shared_ptr.hpp usability... no
checking boost/shared_ptr.hpp presence... no
checking for boost/shared_ptr.hpp... no
configure: error: boost/shared_ptr.hpp not found. install boost
make: *** [stamp/build] Error 1

Expected Results:  
openoffice emerges silently and updated to the new version.

as mentioned, "eselect boost set 1" fixed the problem for me.  Presumably this should be done by the boost ebuild.
