Hello, I am relatively new to Boost and was hoping to make use of Boost.Python. I am running Linux Mint 64bit.
I have followed the tutorial, but when it comes to inputting the command 'bjam' into the terminal, I end up with the following error;
'ERROR: rule "READLINK" unknown in module "link".'
I believe the error is related to the statement at the top of the trace;
'warning: mismatched versions of Boost.Build engine and core'
I don't know how this has come to pass, and I have tried re-running 'bootstrap.sh' from my boost directory,followed by './b2' but yet the previous version of bjam appears to remain.
How can I proceed to resolve this?
Thanks
