This appears to be a packaging bug for Debian Lenny and Ubuntu Intrepid, Gnash can find the boost_python library, but can't use it
because it appears to have the boost configuration wrong for the compiler version. Removing the development packages for Boost 1.34 and upgrading to Boost 1.35 or Boost 1.37 fixes the problem. On Fedora 10 and 11, it's always worked with the default packages.

I tried --enable-python on an Ubuntu Intrepid machine with the default packages, and configure found boost_python just fine.

This is to report that dropping any boost-python package
and reinstalling it doesn't fix the issue.
I did verify that the drop was effective, and gnash correctly
dumped an ERROR for not finding the library in that case.

On Ubuntu-8.10, there boost_python library name found
is one that points to nowhere. Sounds like a bug in Ubuntu itself.

Gnash finds it to be boost_python-gcc41-1_34_1.so, and
/usr/lib/libboost_python-gcc41-1_34_1.so is a symlink to
 libboost_python-gcc41-1_34_1-py25.so, which does NOT exist.

Instead, libboost_python-gcc42-1_34_1-py25.so exists
which is symlinked from the top-level libboost_python.so

I've no idea where the bug comes from, most likely an ubuntu
dist upgrade, as dpkg -S doesn't know about it either:
dpkg: /usr/lib/libboost_python-gcc41-1_34_1.so not found.

Ok, as of revno #10801, configure finds the boost_python library when python is enabled.

The new python.m4 should also check/find libboost_python

I added support for a --enable-python option, and made building the python module conditional based on this. It also uses python-config to get the headers and libraries needed for Python development. Now all somebody has to do is fix the module so it actually compiles.:-) Anyway, checked in as of revno 10794.

Just as a note, Sugar Labs is using a modified version of this for Gnash->Sugar integration.

Also, the install rule seems broken

Currently the python module is never built.
Configuration support should add an --enable-python configure switch or similar, and look for 'python' boost lib and headers.
