Re: Problem with python boost libraries on amd64?
AFAICT, the problem here essentially amounts to version skew -- the
module you're trying to load into Python 2.5 uses a support library
currently built only against 2.4 (as that remains Debian's default for
now). This combination evidently happens to work without problems on
32-bit architectures, but fails on 64-bit platforms due to intervening
ABI changes.
Anyway, Boost's packager is looking into supporting 2.5 alongside 2.4;
you can find the relevant thread starting at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2008/02/msg00033.html
and continued at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2008/03/msg00033.html
(yes, really message 33 in both months!)
