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

Thank you, Vladimir! You made my day!

Boost.Python built fine after I installed the nightly build version  
of Boost.Build V2! I didn't have to change my paths or anything. I  
used the path to the universal binary of Python as I mentioned below.

Thanks so much,
Jane
