OK, so this is failing to find the python headers.

Does that path have a file called pyconfig.h in it? If not, you might need to add something to your user-config or site-config file that gives the correct #include path.
Yes, it does. And Boost 1.41.0 and 1.44.0 built the python library with no problem finding the headers.

I've never really understood the logic behind Boost.Build's matching of alternatives. I think the messages above are probably innocuous, but they could be a problem (possibly related to https://trac.lvk.cs.msu.su/boost.build/wiki/AlternativeSelection). You should ask about that on the boost.build mailing list.
Hmm ... You think I should go to a different mailing list to ask about my build problem? -- Dick Hadsell 203-992-6320 Fax: 203-992-6001 Reply-to: hadsell@blueskystudios.com Blue Sky Studios http://www.blueskystudios.com 1 American Lane, Greenwich, CT 06831-2560
