I have some trouble compiling ledger from git with python support on
debian squeeze:
What I do is this:
$ git clone git://github.com/jwiegley/ledger.git
$ cd ledger
$ ./acprep pull
$ ./acprep config -- --prefix=/opt/ledger
$ make
$ make install
which gives me working a ledger, but
$ ledger python
fails
Looking in the config.log I see:
* --enable-python is already used (seems to be the default),
so no need to actually use
./acprep config -- --prefix=/opt/ledger --enable-python
* however lot's of boost python problems - see details below
I do have libboost-python-dev installed:
r...@atom(~)# dpkg -l "*boost*" | grep py

(Besides all the other boost pkgs I have installed:
libboost-regex-dev, libboost-date-time-dev, libboost-filesystem-dev
libboost-iostreams-dev etc - they are all recognized and used, only
libboost-python-dev makes trouble)
My configure Skript seems to not recognize my libboost-python-dev:
During my ./acprep config... I can read:

And in my config.log I find lots of error messages related to
boost/python (the error messages really go on forever so I am cutting
them here, but I am happy to send the complete config.log file if
requested):

Maybe I am missing some general python pkg? I do however have python-dev
installed:
r...@atom(~)# aptitude search python-dev
i libboost-python-dev - Boost.Python Library
development files (default version)
i A python-dev - Header files and a
static library for Python (default)
r...@atom(~)#
Any help is appreciated.
