No, I should have been clearer: the message you're seeing has nothing to do
with the version of the Boost.Python source you're using. This is a report
that some code was compiled against a different version of Python than the
one you're targeting. It's possible some of that is in libboost_python.a; If
you're using a precompiled library, just rebuild it against the version of
the Python headers you're using.
