Thanks for your answer. The problem is if I don't specify include="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/include/python2.7/"*/ I get the following error: /boost/python/detail/wrap_python.hpp:50:11: fatal error: 'pyconfig.h' file not found # include <pyconfig.h> ^ 1 error generated. Even if using ./b2 --debug-configuration, I can see the python include path well set notice: [python-cfg] interpreter command: "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python" notice: [python-cfg] include path: "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/include/python2.7" notice: [python-cfg] library path: "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/config" "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib" And here is the full message output but debug configuration.
