Thanks very much Trent. I applied your diff and cmake now picks up Boost.Python. libIndi-0.6 unlike in libindi-0.5 now uses cmake. I unstalled the latter, installed for the former and cmake now indentifies all the dependencies. Thanks for all your help. ps I will report any glitches in the compilation. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
