Hi,

    Im running Gentoo over here and I installed boost from gentoo's 
portage tree. I then tried to compile a program that included 
boost/python.hpp. It completely failed:

/usr/include/boost/python/detail/wrap_python.hpp:41:24: patchlevel.h: No 
such file or directory
/usr/include/boost/python/detail/wrap_python.hpp:121:21: Python.h: No 
such file or directory

    Looks like I don't have some local variables set to tell things im 
trying to build where to find these files. Im compiling this absurdly 
simple program (pretty much just an #include <boost/python.hpp> and a 
main that returns 0) using a Makefile. Do I need to export some paths? 
If so, which vars? Do I need to add something to my g++ line? I've never 
used python's interpreter in c++ and so im not sure what I need to add 
to my Makefile.

    Sorry if im not being clear...its kind of late.

thanks,
Noah
