I downloaded the latest version of Boost and I’m trying to get the Boost.python

  • 0

I downloaded the latest version of Boost and I’m trying to get the Boost.python tutorial up and running on Ubuntu 10.04: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/libs/python/doc/tutorial/doc/html/python/hello.html

I navigated to the correct directory, ran “bjam” and it compiled using default settings. I did not yet create a bjam config file. The compilation appears to have worked, but now I have no idea how to include the files in my python script. When I try to run the python hello world script, it gives me this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./hello.py", line 6, in <module>
    import hello_ext
ImportError: libboost_python.so.1.43.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or  directory

Anyone know what is going on?

    How did you install boost ?
    Assuming you have use the following: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html#easy-build-and-install

    liboost_python shard library will be install in /usr/local/lib

    To run the hello.py example, try the following:

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib python ./hello.py
