Hi All:

just ran emerge -uDp world and boost was upgraded.
Revdep-rebuild, the system wants to reinstall rb_libtorrent.

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

!!! Please attach the following file when seeking support:
!!! /var/tmp/portage/net-libs/rb_libtorrent-0.15.10/work/libtorrent-rasterbar-0.15.10/config.log
* ERROR: net-libs/rb_libtorrent-0.15.10 failed (configure phase):
* econf failed

Any workaround?

Cheers,
john

Ok, found this:

# ChangeLog for net-libs/rb_libtorrent
# Copyright 1999-2012 Gentoo Foundation; Distributed under the GPL v2
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/net-libs/rb_libtorrent/ChangeLog,v 1.137 2012/10/31 17:26:17 flameeyes Exp $

rb_libtorrent-0.16.5.ebuild:
Simplify finding boost library so that it works with all versions, now that
it's unslotted.

So, unmaksed rb_libtorrent-0.16.5 and it built fine.

Cheers,
john

Just ran into this same thing - going to the ~ version worked for me too - thanks for the post m8.
