Hi,

I've managed to successfully compile and use a small module on SuSE 9.0
with the following setup:

* gcc version 3.3.1 (SuSE Linux)

* boost_1_31_0 obtained from boost site and compiled from sources

* python 2.3.3 also compiled from sources.

* Module:

#include <boost/python/suite/indexing/vector_indexing_suite.hpp>
#include <boost/python/module.hpp>
#include <boost/python/def.hpp>
#include <boost/python/implicit.hpp>

#include "rpower.h"

using namespace boost::python;


BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(fftw_ext)
{
    class_<std::vector<fftw_real> >("fftw_realVec")
        .def(vector_indexing_suite<std::vector<fftw_real> >())
    ;

    def("power_spectrum", power_spectrum);
}

where power_spectrum is a function defined in rpower.h with the following
signature:

void power_spectrum(std::vector<fftw_real> &in,
        std::vector<fftw_real> &out);

However, I've just tried to compile a test file with just one line
#include <boost/python.hpp>
as mentioned in your post quoted above, which also results in an internal
compiler error:

g++ -Wall -ftemplate-depth-100 -DBOOST_PYTHON_DYNAMIC_LIB -g -O0 \
-fno-inline -fPIC -DDEBUG -I/usr/local/include/python2.3 \
-I/usr/local/include/boost-1_31 -c -o test.os test.cpp

<snipped warning about _POSIX_C_SOURCE being redefined>
/usr/local/include/boost-1_31/boost/python/object_core.hpp:283: internal
compiler error: Segmentation
   fault

Any clues on how to proceed from here?

Thanks,
Chris
