Re: [Visualpython-users] vpython-core2 on opensuse 11.1

I don't think it should make any difference, but it may be more 
convenient to download a tarball from sourceforge or from vpython.org 
rather than using cvs.

build.log shows the problem being in some aspect of the Boost Python 
libraries. What version of the Boost libraries are you using?

A more serious issue is that you're trying to build against Python 2.6. 
A couple months ago when I tried to do this it was not possible because 
numpy had not yet been brought up to date for Python 2.6, though maybe 
it has now been updated (I haven't been able to work on VPython for a 
while due to the pressures of revising a textbook).

Note the following comment in INSTALL.txt:

You also need the threadpool resource:
sourceforge.net/projects/threadpool.

If you are using the 1_35_0 Boost libraries, you can use version 0.2.4 
which is included in the package (in dependencies). If you use a 
different version of the Boost libraries, you need to get an appropriate 
threadpool version and replace the files in 
"dependencies/threadpool/include". Copy into the include directory the 
contents of the boost directory in the threadpool package, which 
includes a directory named "include" and a file "threadpool.hpp".
