My problem in the linked forum thread was related to a leftover folder from an old boost versioon (I guess the old slotted variant).
It's because it depends on =dev-libs/boost-1.49* which you probably upgraded to 1.52.0-r6 (see bug #455464).
Sorry I'm a confused end user. Why is boost (a dev library) a requirement for a bin release? I need the latest boost for my own development so I can't downgrade. Is there a workaround for this (eg installing multiple boosts)? Thanks!

Cause it's a library and lo links against it. Sorry, either build libreoffice from source or wait a while. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 485574 ***
