Re: [Visualpython-users] compiling vpython 4 (was Crash when quit)

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

Thanks for the detailed report. I don't expect to be able very soon to 
address the issue of better reporting of precisely which libraries are 
missing, but some day.... I'm puzzled about the boost libraries, as I 
thought those were checked. The problem with numpy sounds like an error 
in issuing the configure command: you need configure --prefix=/usr if 
Python and its site-packages are in /usr. As is documented in the 
install instructions, by default configure assumes the target Python is 
in /usr/local.
