Description Bardur Arantsson 2005-03-06 23:22:54 UTC

Apparently the boost-1.30.0-r1 ebuild causes these symlinks to be installed
in / rather than /usr/lib:

# ls -l /libboost_*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 22 Mar  6 07:49 /libboost_date_time-gcc-d.a -> libboost_date_time-d.a
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 23 Mar  6 07:49 /libboost_date_time-gcc-d.so -> libboost_date_time-d.so
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 25 Mar  6 07:49 /libboost_date_time-gcc-mt-d.a -> libboost_date_time-mt-d.a
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 26 Mar  6 07:49 /libboost_date_time-gcc-mt-d.so -> libboost_date_time-mt-d.so
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 23 Mar  6 07:49 /libboost_date_time-gcc-mt.a -> libboost_date_time-mt.a
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 24 Mar  6 07:49 /libboost_date_time-gcc-mt.so -> libboost_date_time-mt.so
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 20 Mar  6 07:49 /libboost_date_time-gcc.a -> libboost_date_time.a
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 21 Mar  6 07:49 /libboost_date_time-gcc.so -> libboost_date_time.so
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 24 Mar  6 07:49 /libboost_date_time.a-gcc-d.a -> libboost_date_time.a-d.a
[etc. etc.]

This is on an AMD64 if that matters.

It was a problem with the ebuild, sync and re-emerge it.  It should be fine now.

Comment 2 Bardur Arantsson 2005-03-06 23:51:49 UTC

Yup, that fixed it.
