Gary, I fought my way through the arcaneness of the ppa machinery (Linux
isn't for the faint of heart). I installed the new Boost 1.38 and 1.40,
and tried 1.40 first, but couldn't compile. So I removed 1.40 and found
I could compile with Boost 1.38 but not link: the message in
src/build.log is
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_python
even though I can see libboost_python-mt-py26.a,
libboost_python-mt-py26.so, and libboost_python-mt-py26.so.1.38.0 in
/usr/lib, and the package manager thinks they're installed.
Did you do some additional arcane operation to make the library
findable? What am I missing?
