Re: VPython 6.02 with buttons, sliders, and new event handling capabilities

Hi Dan,

What version of boost did you build?

"Library not found" probably means /usr/local/lib is not the right place. ;=
-)

Can you try something like:

find /usr/local/lib -name libboost_python.a -ls

to see where it's hiding, and then change setup.cfg to point to:

library-dirs=3D/path/to/where/it/lives
