Looks like Boost.Python library wants multi-threading for some reason.
It's not just -lpthread, but also -ldl that is missing.
The 'dl' is already added in CVS, we've talked with Martin about it and figured out that on some Unixes Python links to dl and on others don't.
Not only on "some Unixes"; the way libpython gets built on Linux systems differs among the different distributions.
We also know of having to add -lutil for pty related functions.
The way this is typically solved is by querying the library / tool about its dependencies (via autotools, i.e. configure, say). I'm not sure whether boost.build has something equivalent... Regards, Stefan
