Many undefined symbols in libboost_python.so

I was trying to compile vegastrike-svn (a PITA at the best of times) and it fails building reporting undefined symbols in /usr/lib/libboost_python.so

Does this warrant a bug report? I recently disabled the testing repo but I don't think that's causing the problem.

Re: Many undefined symbols in libboost_python.so

A similar problems occurs when building pythonmagick:
ImportError: /usr/lib/libboost_python.so.1.45.0: undefined symbol: PyClass_Type

Added a bug reopen request to https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10998.

Re: Many undefined symbols in libboost_python.so

@mschu that is the wrong bug

here is the right one:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/22800

note, boost 1.46 just hit testing and it has python 3.2 support

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: Many undefined symbols in libboost_python.so

@sand_man about vegastrike-svn, i remember i've look at it at some point and a discussion was in arch-general about it. that application has multiple versions of boost.

http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux. … eral/32489

also i think that  vegastrike-svn building system needs to add a proper flag for linking, like passing -lpython2.7 or -lpython3, depending of what is using
