FWIW with this CMakeLists.txt the example-code from the book compiles
and runs fine on my Ubuntu 11.10 system:

If I run make with "make VERBOSE=1" it gives the following output
(this might help if you don't want to use cmake...):

/usr/bin/c++   -Dphonebook_EXPORTS -fPIC -I/usr/include/python2.7
-o CMakeFiles/phonebook.dir/phonebook.o -c
/home/anders/Desktop/apibook-apibook-tip/11_Scripting/python/phonebook.cpp

/usr/bin/c++   -Dphonebook_EXPORTS -fPIC -I/usr/include/python2.7
-o CMakeFiles/phonebook.dir/phonebook_wrap.o -c
/home/anders/Desktop/apibook-apibook-tip/11_Scripting/python/phonebook_wrap.cpp

/usr/bin/c++  -fPIC    -shared -Wl,-soname,phonebook.so -o
phonebook.so CMakeFiles/phonebook.dir/phonebook.o
CMakeFiles/phonebook.dir/phonebook_wrap.o -lboost_python
