The Boost.Python example should still work just fine, if you follow the instructions. bjam doesn't use the mangled library names when building with cross-project dependencies. It worked for me just now. I went into libs/python/example and did

...

bjam test

...

and everything passed. No funky linking should is needed.

When running bjam test, in libs/python/example I'd get a lot of errors about templates and vars not define.

Let's see a few of them.

Another thing I noticed, when installing boost with

bjam "-sGXX=g++" "-sTOOLS=gcc" "--prefix=/home/boost_1_31_0" install

it would say, "Skipping Boost.Python library build due to missing or incorrect configuration couldn't find Python.h in "/include/python"

Right.

When I point the PYTHON_ROOT and PYTHON_VERSION to the correct path, I'd get a lot of errors when compiling. Is there a step I'm missing here?

Hard to say without seeing the errors. My guess is that you didn't set them correctly. Did you follow the directions at http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/building.html ?? -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
