Reproducible: Always

Please attach the mentioned config.log and your `emerge --info` output

This has nothing to do with boost-1.50 in general, it has to do with no way to determine what includes to use by the build system. These failures are seen all threw the tree in other packages as well such as libreoffice due to recent change to remove eselect boost support.

[Comment 3 Jory A. Pratt 2012-10-01 18:11:06 UTC]

Created attachment 325490 [details, diff]
support non eselect versions of boost

[Comment 4 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2012-10-31 19:24:51 UTC]

This is fixed with 1.51.0-r1 (and unslotted boost).
