installing boost-python

[Evert Rol]

To follow up on this, I think it's an issue related a broken symlink  
in the python installation, not boost itself. See http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17998


>>> it looks like the libboost_python*
>>> libraries don't pick up the macport python headers/libraries, but  
>>> the
>>> system ones.

>> Did you install boost with any of the python variants
>> (python24, python25, or python26)?
>
> Yes (sorry, forgot to mention that earlier):
> $> port install boost +python25+icu
>
> (well, the icu isn't necessary, and shouldn't matter anyways)

>> If yes, then this is a boost bug you should report.
>
> Ok, I'll file a ticket at the macports website.

>
>> I use the python26 variant, and it finds the correct MacPorts python.
>
> Which does make me suspicious that it doesn't work me.
>
> I wonder if it's worth uninstalling/deactiving the python25 variant,
> and installing the python26 variant, to see what happens for me.

>> If no, then this is also a bug you should report, but an easy  
>> workaround would be
>> to reinstall boost with the python variant of your choice.
