#5263: Undefined symbols in libboost_python

     Type:  Bugs                       |      Status:  new    
Milestone:  To Be Determined           |   Component:  Python 
  Version:  Boost 1.46.0               |    Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:  python undefined symbols   |  
---------------------------------------+------------------------------------
 When building and running pythonmagick (imagemagick python bindings
 dependent on boost), importing python-boost libraries fails with the
 following error:

 ImportError: /usr/lib/libboost_python.so.1.46.0: undefined symbol:
 PyClass_Type

 This happens although boost was compiled with python3 support and
 pythonmagick was linked to libboost_python and all python3 libraries in
 `python-config --libs`.

 Checking libboost_python with ldd yields a whole list of undefined symbols
 [1].

 This was originally filed as a bugreport for the ArchLinux distribution
 but the maintainer suggested an upstream problem [2].


 [1] ldd -r /usr/lib/libboost_python.so.1.46.0 ; output: see [2]
