Re: [Visualpython-users] Compiling under Fedora 9

[Anders P. <an...@gm...>]

Ok, there were two documents necessary to read in order to install:
linux_download.html and INSTALL.txt
I did the "mkdir build" trick and found the build.log that told me to
install g++. D'oh..
Now I get some fresh compilation errors. Seems like it won't find numpy
which I'll look into some other day.

Also, there are complaints over boost::python::numeric so I still wonder
about the libboost-python-dev and libboost-threads-dev issue.
