5263	Undefined symbols in libboost_python	mschu.dev+boost@…	Dave Abrahams	"When building and running pythonmagick (imagemagick python bindings dependent on boost), importing python-boost libraries fails with the following error:

ImportError: /usr/lib/libboost_python.so.1.46.0: undefined symbol: PyClass_Type

This happens although boost was compiled with python3 support and pythonmagick was linked to libboost_python and all python3 libraries in `python-config --libs`.

Checking libboost_python with ldd yields a whole list of undefined symbols [1].

This was originally filed as a bugreport for the ArchLinux distribution but the maintainer suggested an upstream problem [2].
