Was this problem ever resolved? I am getting exactly the same issue on OSX Mavericks. I create a new Xcode commandline project, link libpython3.4.1 and libboost_python dylibs, add relevant header-search-paths.
Then I modify main.c to: #include <boost/python.hpp> int main( int argc, const char* argv[] ) { Py_Initialize(); using namespace boost::python; object main_module = import("__main__"); // <-- EXC_BAD_ACCESS(code=1, address=0x0) } In fact everything below the error can be removed, giving a minimal failure example. -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/boost-python-embedding-error-runtime-Mac-OS-X-1-38-tp2702075p4668060.html Sent from the Python - c++-sig mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Cplusplus-sig mailing list Cplusplus-sig@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cplusplus-sig
