Hi,

I'm trying to build boost 1.43.0 on Ubuntu Karmic Linux environment on
an x86 architecture machine. The compiler is gcc version 4.4.1.  I'm
getting a lot of python related build errors. I have Python 2.6.4
installed on the machine. Here are the first few errors:

gcc.compile.c++
bin.v2/libs/python/build/gcc-4.4.1/release/threading-multi/numeric.o

./boost/python/instance_holder.hpp:34: error: ‘PyObject’ has not

Also, is there a search function available with the boost archives?

Any help you can provide will be useful.

Thanks,
