[C++-sig] Compilation (?) Problem with boost.python

[Michael Chang]

Hello,

I am running boost_1_59_0 on Ubuntu, and I bootstrapped/installed (using
b2) boost.python without any errors. When I run the quick start example, I
get the following error:

Is there any insight to what could be causing this problem? I have
installed Boost at local prefix (not /usr/local/); where can I specify the
non-default prefix when I run/compile the code?

Thanks!
