[Visualpython-users] Visual won't load/run with python 2.6.5

[Baker D.J. <D.J...@so...>]

Hello,

Thank you to those who helped me with the installation of the python visual module. It turns out that I forgot to install one of the dependencies. Having got visual to install I now find that it will not run -- error output shown below. Is this a bug in python (v2.6.5) or boost (v1.35.0), and more to the point is there a relatively easy workaround? Please could someone advise me on the best course of action. I have a sinking feeling that the advice will be to upgrade python.

Best -- David.

What dependencies did you install? It seems I cannot do a scratch build
for epel5 because there is no gtkglextmm package...

It was working for me with python 2.6, don't know if upgrading boost
would be a option for you...

This looks familiar, though I don't remember the solution. If you
search the archives I think you'll find this problem and its solution.
I think it's a Boost problem.

The patch needed for boost-1.35 to work with python-2.6.x (x >= 3) can 
be obtained from boost svn via the command (1 line)

svn diff -r56304:56305 
http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/python/src/object/class.cpp

Hello Martin,
 
Top suggestion! Thank you. I updated my boost distribution with the patch, rebuild boost and then finally remade visual. I can now run one of the bouncing ball examples on the machine. I will contact the user to see if he can do some testing as well, however this all looks very good.

Best -- David.
