Description Roger 2013-06-19 04:59:56 UTC
=dev-libs/boost-1.49.0-r2 creates bad /usr/include/boost symlink.

Reproducible: Always




Packages building against boost includes will merrily break on compile such as:

sys-block/thin-provisioning-tools-0.1.5-r1
checking boost/bind.hpp usability... no
checking boost/bind.hpp presence... no
checking for boost/bind.hpp... no
configure: error: bailing out


Work Around:

rm /usr/include/boost

ln -s /usr/include/boost-1_49/boost /usr/include/boost
Comment 1 Roger 2013-06-19 05:00:46 UTC
Users will usually encounter this error when doing "emerge -e world".

All boost ebuilds, that present currently in tree handle /usr/include symlink properly
