Can't import hello

[mlcobb]

I have given up on boost_1_30_0 and downloaded 1_29_0
instead.

The older version compiles without errors.

I go to the tutorial directory and try to build the
hello demo using bjam -sTOOLS=gcc.

I find the hello.so file several subdirectories down
but when I try to import hello I get the following message

[cobb@mcobb shared-linkable-true]$ python
Python 2.2 (#1, Apr 12 2002, 15:29:57) 
[GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.2 2.96-109)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for
more information.
>>> import hello
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: libboost_python.so.1.29.0: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

I have copied the missing file everywhere I can think
of and set all the Environment variables I can think of
and even moved the file to the current directory but
python still complains that it can't find it.

Any help?

Thanks,
Mike

You have to find libboost_python.so.1.29.0 and put its 
directory in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Why did you give up on 1.30.0?  It's better than 1.29.0 in 
almost every respect.

Thanks.  The LD_LIBRARY_PATH did the trick.  It was not
defined at all.

I gave up on 1_30_0 because I could not get the pytype_check
function to be defined in the boost::python name space.

That's very strange.  As you can see from 
http://cci.lbl.gov/boost/results/1048181821/dailylog_linux_gcc
32_test, all tests were passing on GCC/Linux as of the 
1.30.0 release date.
