Try $ apt-cache search boost python dev or $ aptitude search boost | grep python which suggests libboost-python-dev would have "Boost python headers".

It's all readily available in ubuntu. python-dev is the package name. When compiling anything, chances are you'll need a handful of -dev packages.

Would you know by any chance which package would satisfy "configure: error: could not find Boost python headers" ? I'm sorry it looks like you have to walk me through this but can only use apt-get at the moment and not Synaptic so if I don't know the proper package name - nada.

Re: Adding GNUsTicker
Thank you, this did the trick and I got a bit further this time, but now it's complaining about checking for headers required to compile python extensions... not found configure: error: could not find Python headers I guess I should use a distro that comes with all this by default, like Debian?

Adding GNUsTicker
Hello list, am trying to install GNUsTicker on a Ubuntu (sorry) system and getting the following error half way through the config check: checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... no checking whether g++ accepts -g... no checking dependency style of g++... none checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check See `config.log' for more details. Did I forget to install any libraries needed or what's it mean? I've done some searching but there does not seem much information on how to install GNUsTicker. Still relatively new to Linux as you can probably tell and I've never had to compile anything before, but would really like the newsticker so I don't have to use Kde only for that reason. Please let me know if the config.log would help. Kind Regards, B.Hoffmann Linux User #398054
