Re: [Visualpython-users] Visual on Ubuntu *Karmic*? Has *anyone* managed?

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

For what it's worth, I successfully compiled and ran Visual on Windows for 
Python 2.6.2 using the same Boost 1.39 libraries that didn't work with Python 
2.6.3. So now I wonder whether the problem isn't with Python 2.6.3, not with Boost.
