<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear all,</div><div><br></div><div>I am new to the Boost libraries and now trying to use Boost.Python.  I have followed the build instructions to build the library, they all works fine.  I have a question not sure why that happened that is when I used &quot;bjam&quot; to compile/link hello.cpp in &quot;~/boost_1_56_0/libs/python/example/tutorial&quot;, it created not only hello_ext.so files, but also created &quot;libboost_python.so&quot;,  &quot;libboost_python.so.1&quot;  &quot;libboost_python.so.1.56&quot;  &quot;libboost_python.so.1.56.0&quot; and the first three were symbolic linked to the last one, why did those libboost_python.so* files need to be created.  It were already in the build/install (by invoke ./b2 install) directory&#39;s lib directory. Also there is a bin directory created, not sure what is use for.</div><div><br></div><div>Is there any place I can search through the subscribers&#39; previious post, so that I can avoid asking duplicated questions later.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Meimei</div></div>
