Problem with ./configure and Boost::Python
Hi, I'm trying to install graph_tool on Centos 5.8 in a custom Python 2.7.2 environment. I have boost installed under /scratch/usr Running the following: ./configure --with-boost=/scratch/usr I get the error messages: graph-tool will be installed at: /scratch/opt/pythonbrew/pythons/Python-2.7.2/lib/python2.7/site-packages =========================== Using python version: 2.7.2 =========================== checking for boostlib >= 1.38.0... yes checking whether the Boost::Python library is available... yes checking for exit in -lboost_python... no checking for exit in -lboost_python-py2.7... no checking for exit in -lboost_python-2.7... no checking for exit in -lboost_python...

Thanks

If you run ./configure --help, you will see at list of environment variables at the end, which need to be properly set when using a non-standard environment. In your case, you need to set: CPPFLAGS="-I/scratch/usr/include" LDFLAGS="-L/scratch/usr/lib" so that the compiler can find the installed libraries. Whenever running across configure errors, it is always useful to inspect the config.log file, which contains more detailed information about errors.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. Yes, I compiled and installed boost libraries. I forgot to mention that I have not removed the default version of CentOS which is Python2.6 (because the system has also some other users); hence, I used these commands to configure and install boost: bootstrap.sh --with-python=python2.7 sudo ./b2 install As the result, I can see that the header files and libraries of boost have become available in the following folders: /usr/local/include/boost/ /usr/local/lib However, none of the boost libraries starts with boost_python; instead, I think the relevant ones are: libboost_python.a, libboost_python.so, and libboost_python.so.1.52.0. Therefore, I also tried the following command to configure graph-tool, but it is still unsuccessful. The error message is as follows: =========================== Using python version: 2.7.3 =========================== checking for boostlib >= 1.38.0... yes checking whether the Boost::Python library is available... yes checking for exit in -llibboost_python... no checking for exit in -llibboost_python-py2.7... no checking for exit in -llibboost_python-2.7... no checking for exit in -lboost_python-libboost_python... no checking for exit in -lboost_python-libboost_python-py2.7... no checking for exit in -lboost_python-libboost_python-2.7... no checking for exit in -lboost_python... no checking for exit in -lboost_python-py2.7... no checking for exit in -lboost_python-2.7... no checking for exit in -lboost_python-mt... no checking for exit in -lboost_python-mt-py2.7... no checking for exit in -lboost_python-mt-2.7... no configure: error: No usable boost::python found How I can make sure that boost libraries are correctly compiled?

In your other email, you said you had installed the boost libraries in /usr/local/include/boost/ /usr/local/lib Therefore, your variables should be CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" Also, whenever encountering ./configure problems, please _always_ attach the file config.log, which contains more detailed information on any failures.

Thanks Tiago for your comment. I followed your suggestion and tried to configure it using the following command: ./configure --enable-openmp PYTHON="/usr/local/bin/python2.7" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" It is still unsuccessful; I receive the same error message.

How is your boost-python library called? I.e. what is the output of the command 'ls /usr/local/lib/libboost_python*' ? -- Tiago de Paula Peixoto <tiago@skewed.de>
It is: /usr/local/lib/libboost_python.a /usr/local/lib/libboost_python.so.1.52.0 /usr/local/lib/libboost_python.so -- View this message in context: http://main-discussion-list-for-the-graph-tool-project.982480.n3.nabble.com/...

Python is not compiled by me, and I cannot find libpython2.7.so. Do I need to compile Python again? In this case do I need to recompile all other libraries as well? Thanks, Arash On Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 9:58 AM, Tiago de Paula Peixoto <tiago@skewed.de>wrote:

You need to compile Python with support to shared libraries. You do not need to recompile other libraries, as long as you use the same Python version. -- Tiago de Paula Peixoto <tiago@skewed.de>
Great, it worked. I do appreciate. Now, it complains about not finding "cairomm-1.0". I just need to synthesize some graphs, and I don't need graphical representation. Can you please advise me how I can avoid installing the optional packages? Thanks, Arash On Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 10:11 AM, Tiago de Paula Peixoto <tiago@skewed.de>wrote:
