Bug 493774 – dev-python/pythonmagick-0.9.8 - ld: cannot find -lboost_python-3.2

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Franz Trischberger 2013-12-09 18:50:37 UTC]

During the last days PYTHON_TARGETS was changed in default profile. It added python3_3 - and removed python3_2. I really would have expected a news item for this!
The problem: This update did not change the current active python, leading to issues with pythonmagick:
It builds against the current active python (still python3.2), but boost was built without python3.2-support (due to PYTHON_TARGETS change), so pythonmagick fails during linktime, linking against nonexistent libboost_python-3.2:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.7.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_python-3.2
