Hello everyone,
I had been trying to build BOOST for SST, but so far I had been unsuccessful with the Python(and IOSTREAM) components.
I followed Section 3.1(http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_47_0/libs/python/doc/building.html), but even that is not fully successful:
wilson@vorpalsword:~/SST/boost_1_47_0$ ./bjam --build-dir=~/SST/boost_1_47_0/libs/python/example/quickstart toolset=gcc --verbose-test test
notice: could not find main target test
notice: assuming it is a name of file to create.
Building the Boost C++ Libraries.
Performing configuration checks
- has_icu builds : no
- ../config//has_gcc_visibility builds : yes
- ../config//has_long_double_support builds : yes
don't know how to make <e>test

...can't find 1 target...

The first lines of my Python related errors while installing are the following
...skipped <p/usr/local/lib>libboost_iostreams.so for lack of <p/usr/local/lib>libboost_iostreams.so.1.47.0...

Result of whereis:
wilson@vorpalsword:~/SST/boost_1_47_0$ whereis python
python: /usr/bin/python2.6 /usr/bin/python /etc/python2.6 /etc/python /usr/lib/python3.1 /usr/lib/python2.6 /usr/local/lib/python2.6 /usr/include/python2.6 /usr/share/python /usr/share/man/man1/python.1.gz
For good measure, I also specified the interpreter location in project-config.jam.
# Python configuration
using python : 2.6 : /usr/bin/python ;
using mpi ;
Could somebody give me pointers on how to fix this and get Python running on Boost? I'd really appreciate it.
