After a system update today, revdep-rebuild needs to rebuild rb_libtorrent.

  $ emerge -pv1 =net-libs/rb_libtorrent-0.15.10

  These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

  Calculating dependencies... done!
  [ebuild     UD ] net-libs/rb_libtorrent-0.15.10 [0.16.5] USE="doc ssl -debug 
  -examples -python -static-libs" 0 kB

But the build fails at the configure stage:

  ...
  checking whether -lpthread fixes that... yes

  Checking for boost libraries:
  configure: error: --with-boost-libdir expected directory name

Since the supplied directory (/usr/lib64/boost-1_49) does not exist:

   * Call stack:
   *          ebuild.sh, line   85:  Called src_configure
   *        environment, line 4785:  Called econf '--disable-debug' '--disable-
  tests' '--disable-examples' '--disable-python-binding' '--enable-encryption' 
  '--disable-static' '--with-zlib=system' '--with-boost=/usr/include
  /boost-1_49' '--with-boost-libdir=/usr/lib64/boost-1_49' '--with-boost-
  system=boost_system-mt' '--with-boost-filesystem=boost_filesystem-mt' '--with-
  boost-thread=boost_thread-mt' '--with-boost-python=boost_python--mt'


The boost handling was changed in the 0.16.x ebuilds, and 0.16.5 installs fine.

This should be already fixed in tree, sorry for the delay.
