Hi, Thanks for your answer. I tried it with newer version on a machine where I do have admin rights, and it worked. So, I will have to look into, if I can update the version here ... Anthony Foglia-2 wrote:

I am under Linux, ubunut 8.04 LTS and have no admin rights. Here boost 1.34 ist installed. This is my user-conifg.jam:

#gcc config using gcc : gcc : /usr/bin/gcc ;

# Python configuration using python : 2.5 : /usr ;

I am trying to get the tutorial example compiled, as described here: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_39_0/libs/python/doc/tutorial/doc/html/pytho...

But I get this: bjam /export/home/nhuesken/boost.python/boost_1_34_0/Jamfile.v2:341: in load-aux rule path.glob-tree unknown in module Jamfile</export/home/nhuesken/boost.python/boost_1_34_0>. /usr/share/boost-build/build/project.jam:318: in load-jamfile /usr/share/boost-build/build/project.jam:68: in project.load /usr/share/boost-build/build/project.jam:725: in project.use /usr/share/boost-build/build/project.jam:94: in load-used-projects /usr/share/boost-build/build/project.jam:79: in load /usr/share/boost-build/build/project.jam:170: in project.find /usr/share/boost-build/build-system.jam:148: in load /usr/share/boost-build/kernel/modules.jam:261: in import /usr/share/boost-build/kernel/bootstrap.jam:132: in boost-build /net/gorgonzola/storage/nhuesken/boost.python/boost_1_34_0/libs/python/example/boost-build.jam:7: in module scope

I have no Idea what this means.

This isn't a Boost.Python issue, but a boost-build issue. The version in Ubuntu 8.04 doesn't have the necessary command. Can you try "bjam --version"? The first line should be "Boost.Build V2 (Milestone 12). If not, and you can't get your admin to update the Ubuntu package boost-build to the intrepid version (2.0-m12), I'd suggest trying to install it in your own home directory.

Sorry I can't be more help, but I can't find where the path.glob-tree rule is called in any file anywhere under libs/python/example. Perhaps this is a bug in Ubuntu packaged version of 2.0-m11.

You might have more luck on the boost-build list.
