I am in the process of attempting to learn how to use boost.python, ultimately to integrate existing c++ simulations with python scripts. At the moment they simply fork new processes and use the os libraries to parse input - it works, but its very low-tech and ugly. I estimate almost half my processor usage is dedicated to simply forking new processes inside loops, so I'm seeking to reduce this.

To accomplish this I have installed fink, used it to install the packages:
boost-jam
boost1.34.nopython
boost1.34.nopython-shlibs
boost1.34.python25
boost1.34.python25-shlibs
as well as unrelated packages for gnuplot and gnuplot.py.

My problem is boost.python gives an example extensively based on boost/tools subtree, which is configured during installation. The problem is I have no idea if or where fink would have put the configured tree, which bjam relies on.

Can anyone provide the installation path or how to correctly configure it separately to match what fink did when it installed the packages?

Creativity is a bloody nuisance and an evil curse that will see to it that you die from stress and alcohol abuse at a very early age, that you piss off all your friends, break appointments, show up late, and have this strange bohemian urge (you know that decadent laid-back pimp-style way of life). The truly creative people I know all live lousy lives, never have time to see you, don't take care of themselves properly, have weird tastes in women and behave badly. They don't wash and they eat disgusting stuff, they are mentally unstable and are absolutely brilliant. -------------------------------------------------------------------------
