Hello: I think I am experience a build problem here but not really sure; nonetheless, below is a simple example that illustrates my problem. Any idea what I might be doing wrong. I am using boost_1_43_0 built with gcc 4.2.1 on i686 running darwin. I am linking to the standard 2.5 python that comes with the distro. Please note that the PyRun_SimpleString("import sys"); does not error at all. The error comes from when the call to import(). I am not sure if this is a clue or not but gdb seems not to know what line it is on. I am guessing it is just confused because of all the inlines. I suspect this is a linking issues of some sort. However I did check that they are all linking to the correct location. Why does it convert the const char * to a str in the first place. Seems to be thrashing around a bit. -- Brian /// contents of boost_python_issue.cpp #include <boost/python.hpp> using namespace boost::python; int main(int argc, char **argv) { Py_Initialize(); try { PyRun_SimpleString("import sys"); // This raises exception object sys = import("sys"); } catch (boost::python::error_already_set) { PyErr_Print(); } Py_Finalize(); } // Compiled with 'g++ -I. -I/usr/include -I/usr/local/include -I../../includes/python2_5_1 -g -L/usr/local/lib boost_python_issue.cpp -lboost_system -lboost_python -lm -lpython2.5 -o boost_python_issue' Output from gdb: (gdb) break main Breakpoint 1 at 0x100001319: file boost_python_issue.cpp, line 9.
