 skipping Boost.Python library build due to missing or
 incorrect configuration

 couldn't find Python.h in "c:/Python24/include"

 You can configure the location of your python
 installation by setting:
 PYTHON_VERSION - The 2-part python Major.Minor version
 number (e.g.
                  "2.2", NOT "2.2.1")  - currently "2.4"

 PYTHON_ROOT    - automatically configured from
 PYTHON_VERSION if not
                  otherwise set ;
 currently "c:/Python24"

 The following are automatically configured from
 PYTHON_ROOT if not
 otherwise set:

     PYTHON_LIB_PATH       - path to Python library
 object; currently
                             "c:/Python24/libs"
 -------------------------------------------------------
 --------------
 Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU
 support disabled.
 Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more
 information
 (and if you don't know what ICU is then you probably
 don't need it).

Comment:

 The usual cause for this is a limitation/bug of Windows. It has limits on
 how long string are in the PATH.
