boost_python fails to build

Im new to Ogre3d and am trying to compile it from source using the LinuxBuildV4 guide, but I am stuck on step 3

python python-ogre/BuildModule.py -b gccxml pygccxml cg pyplusplus boost_python --usesystem

Here is my log.out

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think that you need to install the python development headers for your version of python, here on my system (Ubuntu) it's python2.6-dev.

Also python-ogre trunk has been recently updated to build using version 1.7.2 of Ogre. I thought that the wiki instructions had already been updated to reflect this, but the Ogre.sh script still points to 1.6.4.

Thank you for the quick reply. That solved my problem for step 3, but I am now having trouble with the next step.

It seems that it just will not connect, I'm not too sure what to do about this.

Also I am using python 2.7 (with the 2.7 development headers) and noticed you were using python2.6. Is python 2.7 recommended or supported?

Thanks again,

I would try again with sourceforge it has been pretty flaky lately. I just tried from the command line and it appeared to download OK.

Not too sure if there will be any problems, Andy builds for Windows using Python2.7, so you should be OK. You probably will have make a copy of the python-ogre/packages_2.6 dir and rename to python-ogre/packages_2.7 before you build the modules.

I think it was on sourceforges end, both commands download the packages now. However I have a new error when I try to build the ois package.

I tried downloading and installing libtool 2.2.10, and the command "libtool --version" confirms that 2.210 is installed but I still get the same error.

What distro are you running? You should make sure that all your versions of automake/libtool/autoconf are up to date. Someone had the same problem on this thread.

If you are running a distro such as Ubuntu you should leave the installation of libtool to the Synaptic Package Manager, downloading and installing your own version of libtool is going to cause you endless problems.

I am running ubuntu-server 10.10. I uninstalled libtool 2.2.10 and reinstalled 2.2.6b. And for whatever reason it finally compiled and installed fine. The sample browser is running and everything looks great so far.

Thanks for all your help dude!
