CEGUI comes with a dynamically loaded library compiled with the wrong version of boost-python

[Cesar Mora Castro]

CEGUI comes with a dynamically loaded library for python support that can be found in /usr/lib//python2.7/dist-packages/cegui-0.8/PyCEGUI.so.

There is an external tool, available in cegui.org.uk, called CEED (it is a graphic editor for CEGUI) that uses PyCEGUI to run.

If you download and try to run CEED with the repository downloaded version of CEGUI, it will give this error:

PyCEGUI package is missing! PyCEGUI provides Python bindings for CEGUI, the library this editor edits assets for, see cegui.org.uk. (exception: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cegui-0.8/PyCEGUI.so: undefined symbol: _ZTIN5boost6python15instance_holderE)

This means that it can find PyCEGUI.so, but it expects the version 1.5x of boost-python. However, only boost-python 1.60 is available in the repository. It seems that PyCEGUI was compiled with a different version of boost-python

The current version in Debian builds against Boost 1.67 and this issue may be resolved. Can anyone confirm if this is still an issue?
