Re: [Visualpython-users] Difficulty in compilation on Ubuntu 8.10 x86_64

[Bruce S. <Bru...@nc...>]

The issue is that there has been very little experience of people 
building Visual with 64-bit Linux. I myself don't have access to a 
64-bit machine. Looking at a build on 32-bit Ubuntu, I don't see 
anything in your build.log or config.log that explains why there's some 
incompatibility with the includes.

I do however see something that makes me wonder. In config.log at the 
start of the section labeled "Cache variables" you have

ac_cv_build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
ac_cv_build_alias=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

while I see this:

ac_cv_build=i686-pc-linux-gnu

Makes me wonder about the "unknown" in your listing, though maybe that's 
irrelevant.

One other thing: What I have on my Ubuntu machine is 
libboost-python1.34.1, which is the only version I see in the synaptic 
package manager.

All I can hope is that someone else on this list has experience with 
64-bit Ubuntu and can offer some help.
