Hi !

I'm trying to get my automated boost update running without errors and 
found that V2 Jamfile for boost.python does not find my python 
installation.
Configuration: SuSE 8.2

Python is installed to /usr .
Headers are in /usr/include/python2.2 (for 2.2)
and in /usr/include/python2.1 (for 2.1, of course. mmh, why did YaST 
install this ?)
So I had to make some changes to Jamfile.v2 (see patch attached).
V1 has some magic [check-python-config] which autodetects my manual 
changes. It seems V2 need a similar mechanism to detect python version.

Volodya, it seems that my problem with "/usr/include" appearing on gcc 
command line is the usage of boost, which gets includes from 
boost.python usage-requirement. Thats okay.

The patch contains some spelling fixes.
Please note the echo-statement on line 10 of Jamfile.v2.
I changed this to echo "PYTHON_PATH" instead of "XXX" but think that 
this is a debug aid and should be removed.

Yours,

Jürgen
