[Openexr-devel] pyilmbase 2.2.0 build - boost::python test program failure

[f.michal]

Hello !

I'm trying to build pyilmbase 2.2.0 against custom builds of boost and python, and I fail with this error message:

checking for boost::python... no
*** Could not run the boost::python test program, checking why...
*** The boost::python test program could be compiled, but could not be dynamically.
*** or statically linked.

I have LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing where it should (boost/stage/lib, python libs etc.)

I also tried ./configure with these options:

      --with-boost-include-dir
      --with-boost-lib-dir
      --with-boost-python-libname

...nothing helps. I've seen a similar problem post but didn't find solution. Also I looked into configure script but I got hearth attack :)

Can I do anything to push this or help debug ?

I'm under CentOS 6.5 and building with Red Hat DTS 2.1 (g++ v4.8.2) - as required by Maya2017 docs...

thanks
