I’m having a hellish time trying to build the python bindings for boost in Mac
OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). I’m using boost_1_42_0, which seems to build okay
(except for hanging on test), and I’ve downloaded bgl-python-0.9 (the boost
python bindings), but the build instructions seem to be old and don’t reflect
the contents of bgl-python-0.9.

I’ve been banging my head against the wall trying to get this library up and
running. I really need a system that can help me calculate betweenness
centrality on a dataset I have.

Has anyone successfully installed boost with its python bindings on Snow Leopard?

Are there any other network graph libraries out there for python (or Java) that
can calculate betweenness well?

Thanks.

Ian
