Hi James, Unfortunately I don't have confirmation... no one has tried the recompile. It's a fairly intensive compile requiring a couple hundred megs of dev packages so understandable.
In the interim I've learned a bit more of what's going on. I guess the default in Hardy was python 2.4, and in Ibex it's 2.5? The actual problem is that boost 1.34.1 was only intended to be built with python 2.4. When built with python 2.5 (which has had the aforementioned ABI change), boost 1.34.1 breaks. More details on this here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2008/02/msg00033.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2008/03/msg00033.html I googled quite a bit to see if I could find confirmation that boost 1.35.0 fixes this issue, but I cannot. Basically I have no idea if it will fix it or not. I am sort of guessing it will, but it would be nice to know for sure :). Is there anyone who can help me test this theory? -- gizmod in Ibex fails to run on amd64 systems due to bug in boost-1.34.1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293082 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
