Hello,
I'm having a bit of trouble installing vpython on a Slackware 10.1 box.
I have installed:
boost 1.32.0 (slackware package)
gtk+ 2.6.1 (comes with standard install)
gtkglarea 1.2.3 (slack package)
Numeric 24.0 (python setup.py install)
numarray 1.3.3 (python setup.py install)
python 2.4 (comes with standard install) located at /usr/bin/python
I am using gcc 3.3.4.
Here's what I do:
$ tar -xjf visual-3.2.1.tar.bz2
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../visual-3.2.1/configure --prefix=/usr
(Note -- there is an error on http://vpython.org/
linux_download.html: it says "./visual..." (one dot) which could
cause confusion.)
$ make
...And here it dies. The last couple lines of build/src/build.log are:

I'm stumped. Boost is located at /usr/include/boost, with libraries
at /usr/lib/libboost_*, if that helps.
Any suggestions?

Interestingly enough, I had a lab full of Slackware 10.0 boxes with
vpython. When I updated them to 10.1, it changed the default python
from 2.3 to 2.4 and broke vpython: but the fix was as simple as:
# cp -Rup /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/* /usr/lib/python2.4/
site-packages/
