5877,Ambiguous call building Boost.Python quickstart example,paul@…,Stefan Seefeld,"If I use .\b2 to do a build of plain vanilla Boost 1.47 on 32-bit Windows 7 using Python 3.2 and MSVC 10.0 SP1, it completes without error. I then add the lib= and include= environment variables as instructed at the end of the build, and CD to the python quickstart example.

When I then use b2 to build the quickstart example, it fails with:

{{{

Of course, the second error may be caused by the first.
