"No such file or directory" error with Boost Python

Tags:

boost

I've installed boost python from ubuntu 9.04 repositories. I've successfully run Build a Simple Program Using Boost from the tutorial, so I know that boost python is installed on my system.

However, the program below returns an error:

#include <string>

namespace { // Avoid cluttering the global namespace.

  // A couple of simple C++ functions that we want to expose to Python.
  std::string greet() { return "hello, world"; }
  int square(int number) { return number * number; }
}
#include <boost/python.hpp>
using namespace boost::python;

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(getting_started1)
{
    // Add regular functions to the module.
    def("greet", greet);
    def("square", square);
}

I tried to execute the first step from the below two steps to create a shared library:

g++ -c -fPIC hello.cpp -o hello.o
g++ -shared -Wl,-soname,libhello.so -o libhello.so  hello.o

(Are these the right commands?)

The following is the complete error output:

add #include <Python.h> and compile with -I/usr/include/python2.6 or whatever your Python version is.

Do not forget to link it with -lpython2.6 -lboost_python

Although it's quite late, but still, here's my answer:

Make sure you have the libboost-python-dev libraries installed:

sudo apt-get install libboost-python-dev

This did the trick for me.

It looks like you are missing the Python headers (Python.h etc.). Make sure you insteall the -devel or -dev package for your version of Python through the operating system package manager. This should provide the header files...

[Edit: noticed you are on ubuntu so try sudo aptitude install python-dev ]

Building a big program by executing individual commands like that can quickly get very complicated. You can use a build system like CMake to find the dependencies and sort out the compiler commands for you.

The minimal CMakeLists.txt to use CMake with a boost python project is this:

project (MyProject)
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)

find_package(PythonLibs)
include_directories (${PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIRS})

find_package(Boost 1.45.0 COMPONENTS python)
include_directories (${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})


add_library (
    mylibinterface SHARED  
    mylib.cpp
)

target_link_libraries (mylibinterface
    boost_python
    ${PYTHON_LIBRARIES}
    ${Boost_LIBRARIES}
)
