[Boost-build] BBv2 Python compile errors on Mac PPC

Hello,

I'm having problems compiling boost.python with BBv2 on a Mac OS X  
10.4.6, Xcode 2.2. I can build fine with BBv1, but I want to build a  
universal binary using the Adobe patch, and it requires BBv2. The  
Adobe patch and build scripts builds the other boost libraries fine  
but fails on python. It's not the patch, because I've tried building  
boost.python with a clean copy of boost 1.33.1 with the same errors  
with the following command:

 >bjam --v2 --with-python

The first problem I ran into was the message that Python wasn't  
configured, even though I had environment variables set for  
PYTHON_ROOT and PYTHON_VERSION. I was able to fix this by editing the  
user-config.jam file in my home directory to configure python. Now it  
attempts to build boost.python, but it's not finding the python  
header files (i.e. pyconfig.h, patchlevel.h, etc.) I have tried  
pointing to the universal binary Python in the MacOS10.4u.sdk:

using python : 2.3 : "/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/System/Library/ 
Frameworks/Python.Framework/Versions/2.3" ;

as well as a darwinports installation of Python 2.4 (PYTHON_ROOT=/opt/ 
local) and have not had any luck. I've made sure the environment  
variables match the entries in user-config.jam. Is there some other  
setting I need when using the Python framework?

Thanks so much,
Jane
