Hello everybody,

Finally i solved my problem, but in a dirty manner i don't like, but no
choice for me...
I noticed Nightshade needed 3 files :
/usr/lib64/libboost_filesystem-mt-1_46.so.1.46.1
/usr/lib64/libboost_system-mt-1_46.so.1.46.1
/usr/lib64/libboost_regex-mt-1_46.so.1.46.1

- I downloaded boost-1.46 (not in portage anymore) and some patches in an
overlay.
- Installed boost-1.46
- backup the 3 files.
- Uninstalled 1.46 and upgraded to boost-1.52 (needed by LibreOffice-4.0)
and symlinked the 3 files in /usr/lib64.

LibreOffice works, Nightshade does not see anything and works nice too.

Dirty as i said before, but i couldn't solve that issue otherwise.

Cheers,
