Hi all!

I have cloned the mercurial source on the latest and compiled under karmic.

When I try to run a python script(from the examples) I get the "Could not determine scripting language" error.
I have python 2.4 - 2.6 installed with dev packages of course.

I have tried rebuilding with testing enabled so I can see what it tells me, but I get a build error

"""
/usr/include/boost/accumulators/statistics_fwd.hpp:87: error: ‘template<int N> struct boost::accumulators::tag::moment’ is not a function,
/usr/include/boost/accumulators/statistics/moment.hpp:104: error: conflict with ‘template<int T2, class Arg1> typename boost::accumulators::detail::extractor_result<Arg1, boost::accumulators::tag::moment<T2> >::type boost::accumulators::extract::moment(const Arg1&)’
/usr/include/boost/accumulators/statistics/variance.hpp:54: error: in call to ‘moment’
"""

Thanks.

As an aside, I do most of my development on Ubuntu 9.10, so we should be able to figure-out the problem easily. Which example is failing?

As far as the compile-error goes, it sounds like some recent changes may have introduced a dependency on newer versions of boost - in particular, you might want to install the "libboost1.40-all-dev" package, which is what works for me - you may have the older Boost 1.38 packages, which I believe are more widely installed.

Cheers,
Tim

Cool thanks Tim.

I have installed libboost1.40-all-dev because I was using libboost 1.38. There are a lot of dependency changes one of which was libboost-python1.40, this may have been the problem??

I also had to remove libcgal-dev because it depended on liboost 1.38
What version of cgal are you using?

All examples failed. I am recompiling now and will post my results.

Thanks.

I have succeeded in compiling though I had to disable both cgal and testing. But scripting is working now which is great.

Bart is the CGAL guy, I believe he has a patch for the CGAL sources to make things work. FWIW, he's also looking at CURVE, which seems like a better long-term solution than CGAL.

Cheers,
Tim
