After I finally got the regression tests running again on my machine, I would like to figure out, why most of the python tests are failing. For an example error message see http://tinyurl.com/46he3 .

Has anybody any idea as to where I should start looking for this?

Here is some more info. schoepf@AREA51:/vol1/tmp/boost/boost/status> dbx /vol1/tmp/tools/bin/python2.3 core dbx version 5.1 Type 'help' for help.

and so on ... The code in question looks the following: ... template <class Key, class Value> void setitem(object const& target, Key const& key, Value const& value) { return setitem(target, object(key), object(value)); } ... This causes an infinite recursion. As far as I know, boost.python should work on this platform, so does this ring a bell with anybody? Markus
