Hi,
Im running Gentoo over here and I installed boost from gentoo's portage tree. I then tried to compile a program that included boost/python.hpp. It completely failed:
/usr/include/boost/python/detail/wrap_python.hpp:41:24: patchlevel.h: No such file or directory /usr/include/boost/python/detail/wrap_python.hpp:121:21: Python.h: No such file or directory
Did you read the docs? Especially http://boost.org/libs/python/doc/tutorial/doc/html/python/hello.html, which says
We shall use the build tool that comes bundled with every boost distribution: bjam. ...... Experience shows that 90% of the "I can't build Boost.Python" problems come from people who had to use a different tool.
;-) Maybe you can try with bjam?
Looks like I don't have some local variables set to tell things im trying to build where to find these files. Im compiling this absurdly simple program (pretty much just an #include
and a main that returns 0) using a Makefile. Do I need to export some paths? You need to pass include path to Python to g++. This is something like /usr/include/python2.3/

so youre saying that if i want to use boost i cant realistically use mak to compil my projects?
