Taking a feeble step into the world of configure I see it couldn't find a 'libboost_python-mt-2.7.a'. I symlinked to libboost_python.a and ./configure --LDFLAGS.. -CPPFLAGS got further. I did notice earlier that the boost builds weren't creating libs with the naming convention spec'd in the how-to-build doc.. Now its not building for want of scipy .. but now that I'm getting my metaphorical baby spoon somewhere near my fat face I might get lucky and feed myself the rest. Thank you. The config.log for the original problem is attached FYI. Cheers On 11/15/12, Tiago de Paula Peixoto <tiago@skewed.de> wrote:

Thanks a lot Tiago,
I did actually try with the distro boost (libboost-all-dev) but that failed with the same error. I tried your command line (LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS) with the built-from-source boost, and that failed again with the same error.
As Alexandre said in a previous email, there is little we can say without seeing your config.log file, which says _why_ it failed to find the library.
Cheers, Tiago
