yep, seems like a known problem. https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=207586&aid=776424&group_id=7586 george, can you also have a look at this boost issue with python-2.3 and see if there's an appropriate patch in CVS we can backport, or have a snapshot? thanks According to the boost web site. http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/ Section starting: - Note for Python 2.3 users This is a bugfix release only, and is not compatible with Python 2.3. Boost 1.31.0, which will be compatible with Python 2.3, is due out shortly. In the meantime, if you need Python 2.3 compatibility, we suggest you get a CVS snapshot, either from the SourceForge anonymous CVS or from our mirror, updated nightly: cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@boost-consulting.com:/boost login no password; just hit return cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@boost-consulting.com:/boost co boost My suggestion, is we take the cvs snapshot, create a patch file against 1.30.2 and then create a 1.30.2-r2 ebuild from it, to work with python2.3, because python2.3 is the current gentoo version. Ok, I grabbed the recent cvs snapshot and uploaded it to /space/distfiles-local. It seems to build, so it will have to do until 1.31 is released. BTW, 1.30.2-r2 is not a proper version, as this is different code underneath, not just ebuild revision. I named it 1.31.0_alpha1, as this is what it effectively is, (and using the date instead of alpha would screw future updates). Please test. George It now emerges boost, so thanks. emerge -s boost * dev-libs/boost Latest version available: 1.31.0_alpha1 Latest version installed: 1.31.0_alpha1 I have not tested it's actual functionallity yet. Release is out and in stable, closing the bug.. |
