[Boost-users] Can't build Python library on Solaris

Hi,

I sent this once, but I'm not sure that it made it.  Please accept my
apology if it is a repeat.

I'm new to this list and to Boost.  I'm interested in using Boost to wrap
C++ objects in Python.  The environment is Solaris 10, x86.  I did the
following:

Downloaded boost_1_33_1.tar and extracted it to /opt/boost.
>setenv PYTHON_ROOT /usr/local
> cd to /opt/boost/boost_1_33_1/libs/python/build
> bjam

I get lots of error messages, repeated throughout the compile.  They are
generally grouped around the same line:
'->' cannot appear in a constant-expression
'&' cannot appear in a constant-expression
template argument 1 is invalid
value is not a member of '<declaration errors>'
...failed gcc-C++-action ...

If I "bjam" from /opt/boost/boost_1_33_1, I get the same errors when it gets
to the python library.

I would most appreciate any help with this!

Regards,
Chris Botos
