• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Justin Lecher (RETIRED) 2012-05-18 18:01:35 UTC]

 $ eselect boost list
Available boost versions:
  [1]   boost-1.46/default *

(SCISOFT) scisoft@scisoft64 /opt/scisoft64 $ eselect boost set 1
Removing symlinks from old version
Creating symlinks for boost-1.46/default

(SCISOFT) scisoft@scisoft64 /opt/scisoft64 $ ll usr/include/boost
lrwxrwxrwx 1 scisoft scisoft 30 May 18 19:57 usr/include/boost -> /opt/scisoft64boost-1_46/boost

Somehow /usr/include is missin

Doesn't apply cleanly, so I don't know whether it is the patch or my manual fixing.

Hmm, what exactly is the patch failure output?

PS, apply to gx86 instead of that in Prefix.

eselect-boost got recently synced, so most likely an error was introduced there, looks like it misses the EPREFIX

OT: other attect ebuilds are libglade and boost-build

I did that but it failed. But I made it work.
Still the prefix problem isn't fixed.
