I actually had an old visual under python2.3/site-packages. I removed it an=
d
recompiled/reinstalled vpython. Curiously,

it still tries fo find the old libboost which is no longer there.

# locate libboost_python
/usr/lib/libboost_python.a
/usr/lib/libboost_python.so
/usr/lib/libboost_python.so.1.33.1


First off, be sure that you built Boost with GCC 3.3.6, and not
> 4.something.


I Used 3.3.6

Second - since cvisualmodule.so linked correctly, but the boost-python
> library cannot be found by the runtime linker, find out where
> Boost.Python was installed and also find out if that location is on the

No, see above.


Finally, since libboost_python.so.1.33.0 cannot be found at all, if this

interestingly enough, after all these maneuvers made my original problem go
away...
