First, locate the boost header files. Suppose you find the file module.hpp in this location: C:\boost-whatever-version\include\boost\python\module.hpp The part that comes before boost\python\module.hpp is the required include directory. You can tell setup to use this directory by adding the following argument to the Extension call: include_dirs = ['C:\\boost-whatever-version\\include'] Notice the doubling of backslashes. Remember to add the directory where the boost header files lie on your system; don't add this line exactly. You should end up with a setup call that looks like this: setup(name="blah", ext_modules=[ Extension("hello", ["hellomodule.cpp"], libraries = ["boost_python"], include_dirs = ['C:\\boost-whatever-version\\include']) ]) Carl Banks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
