No. Boost IIRC used to be slotted, but not anymore. Like any other package, you get one and only one version at a time. > When i emerge boost-1.52, boots-1.49 in uninstalled and vice versa. So don't install boost-1.52 and take it out of world if you have it there. Portage will install boost-1.49.0-r2 for you and maintain the updates for you. You do not have to fiddle with it. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckinnon@gmail.com
