39 FWIW, I had initially unmasked a bunch of stuff (suggested by portage) to get the first 4.x version of LO to compile. Upgrading to 4.0.4.2 only worked after I had upgraded boost and boost-build from 1.52 to 1.53. Portage had nothing to say about it, the build just failed with some weird boost errors.
