RE: [Boost-users] Re: install? and simple thread program.

I downloaded the latest version of Python from the website given below and ran it with "rpm --rebuild python2-2.2-2.src.rpm." Python seems to install correctly. I reset my env variables to PYTHON_ROOT=/usr and PYTHON_VERSION=2.2. Yet when I ran bjam, it would say it couldn't find the Python.h file within /usr/include/python2.2/. The directory is there, but its empty. There is an another directory for python1.5. But this version will not compile Boost correctly. Any suggestions or idea of why this is happening? Thanks.

The Boost.Python example should still work just fine, if you follow the instructions. bjam doesn't use the mangled library names when building with cross-project dependencies. It worked for me just now. I went into libs/python/example and did

...

bjam test

...

and everything passed. No funky linking should is needed.

When running bjam test, in libs/python/example I'd get a lot of errors about templates and vars not define.

Let's see a few of them.

Another thing I noticed, when installing boost with

bjam "-sGXX=g++" "-sTOOLS=gcc" "--prefix=/home/boost_1_31_0" install

it would say, "Skipping Boost.Python library build due to missing or incorrect configuration couldn't find Python.h in "/include/python"

Right.

When I point the PYTHON_ROOT and PYTHON_VERSION to the correct path, I'd get a lot of errors when compiling. Is there a step I'm missing here?

Hard to say without seeing the errors. My guess is that you didn't set them correctly.
