In bindist/ folder, there is a setup.py file, that try to install all files in bin/* directory.. but this folder does not exists! in bindist folder exists only setup.py file.
So.. how can I install python bindings for boost on my fedora 9 machine?? Thank you for advice!
Please work your way through http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/more/getting_started/index.html; it should help. Please also note that Boost doesn't include Python bindings for every library in the collection.
Many thanks David for your advice! I have tried to follow your advice but I have encountered a little problem, and I can't find the solution on documentation. When I tried to install bgl-python-0.9 (boost.graph bindigs) I retrieved this error: [root@ciropom bgl-python-0.9]bjam --build-dir=/home/ciropom/Scaricati/bgl-python-0.9/ --toolset=gcc --build-type=complete stage Unable to load Boost.Build: could not find "boost-build.jam" --------------------------------------------------------------- Attempted search from /home/ciropom/Scaricati/bgl-python-0.9 up to the root and in these directories from BOOST_BUILD_PATH and BOOST_ROOT: /usr/share/boost-build. So how can I load correctly Boost.Build? The documentation speak only about a "IO streams library error", and in this case it isn't the problem. The documentation recommend to ask in mailing list.. I hope that you can help me... Many thanks for the time you spent for me! Tomasoni Danilo -- http://ciropom.homelinux.net L'apprendere molte cose, non insegna l'intelligenza. -- Eraclito

Well, I'm only guessing here because AFAIK bgl-python isn't actually part of Boost at all... but if you place your bgl-python-0.9 folder somewhere inside your Boost directory tree and then try to build from there, you *should* have better luck. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
