fail to build ESyS-Particle using home grown Boost

[high end compute]

Hi

I saw your useful post about building boost & ESys-Particle
https://answers.launchpad.net/esys-particle/+faq/1235

I'm not sure if versions have changed but I've had to install (build?)
boost on my RHEL system but ESys-Particle is failing and I can't see why
- as below (& attached), it appears to not be able to find 'python.hpp'
which actually does exist. All help gratefully received!

The SOLUTION was to ensure both a valid libbz2 and libpython2.7 -- the config.log showed that it was a problem linking to these (and not a problem finding libboost at all)

Hi,

Just a comment if someone meets the same problem again.

I found to install python2.7-dev library would solve this problem.

Cheers,
Aaron
