LinuxCNC is fairly version-insensitive with boost-python. It works with
*at least* 1.48 (on Ubuntu Precise), 1.48 (Debian Wheezy), 1.55 (Debian
Jessie), and 1.62 (Debian Stretch pre-release), and probably all the
ones in between, and probably some more besides.
What is the full path to your libboost_python-py2.7.so?
What did you set LDFLAGS to?
What does the boost-python part of your config.log say after configure
fails?
