couldn't find Python.h in "/usr/include"

It sounds like you're trying to build all of the boost libraries, one of which is boost.python and requires python to be installed.

No, we just skip the build of Boost.Python if Python isn't installed.

The chances are you don't need to use all of the boost libraries and a large number, if not most, do not require a library to be built as they are entirely header file based. You should check to see which libraries you actually want to use and only compile those where necessary.

Maybe that's a good idea, but it has nothing to do with the problem. Please see Rene's post. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
