[C++-sig] unresolved symbols

hi there,

i'm new to boost and extending python.

i'm trying to write a boost-python module. it currently contains three files: 
module header, module boost definition and a class definition.

this module is currently being built outside the boost build directory 
structure. i've copied the files Jamfile, Jamrule and boost-build.jam from 
the examples directory and altered them to reflect my build directory 
structure.

the entire module has been held as basic as possible. the module 
implementation file is as follows:

##################################################################
##################################################################
##################################################################
// boost.cpp

#include <string>

#include <logger.hpp>
#include <boost/python.hpp>

namespace py = boost::python;
using namespace logger;
using namespace py;

BOOST_PYTHON_MEMBER_FUNCTION_OVERLOADS(log_overloads, Client::log, 1, 2)

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(logger)
{
   class_<Client>("Client", init<std::string&>())
      .def("__call__", &Client::log, log_overloads())
      .add_property("source", &Client::getSource)
      .add_property("level", &Client::getLevel, &Client::setLevel)
   ;

   enum_<LogLevel>("level")
      .value("debug",    debug)
      .value("test",     test)
      .value("review",   review)
      .value("warning",  warning)
      .value("error",    error)#ifndef __logger_hpp__
      .value("critical", critical)
      .value("fatal",    fatal)
   ;
}

##################################################################
##################################################################
##################################################################

the module header and class implementation are equally simple:

##################################################################
##################################################################
##################################################################
// logger.hpp

#ifndef __logger_hpp__
#define __logger_hpp__

#include <string>

namespace logger
{

// defines all basic log levels known to this module
enum LogLevel
{
   all      = 1 << 31,
   debug    = 1 << 31,

   test     = 1 << 21,

   review   = 1 << 16,

   info     = 1 << 11,

   warning  = 1 << 4,
   error    = 1 << 3,
   critical = 1 << 2,
   fatal    = 1 << 1,
   off      = 1 << 0,
   none     = -1
};                                     // enum LogLevel

/******************************************************************************
 *
 *
 *
 */
class Client
{
public:
   Client (std::string& name);

   ~Client (void);

   std::string getSource (void) { return source; }

   LogLevel setLevel (const LogLevel level);
   LogLevel getLevel (void) { return this->level; }

   int log (const std::string& message, const LogLevel locallevel = none);

protected:

private:
   std::string source;
   LogLevel level;
};                                     // class Client

};                                     // namespace logger

#endif                                 // __logger_hpp__

##################################################################
##################################################################
##################################################################
// Client.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

#include <logger.hpp>

using namespace logger;

Client::Client (std::string& name)
{
   this->source = name;
   this->level  = none;
}

LogLevel
Client::setLevel (const LogLevel newlevel)
{
   if (none == newlevel)
   {
      return none;
   }
   return this->level = newlevel;
}

int
Client::log (const std::string& message, const LogLevel level)
{
   LogLevel localLevel = (none == level) ? level : this->level;

   std::cout << ":" << localLevel << ":" << message;
   return 1;
}

using bjam the module complies w/o warnings or errors. however, while 
importing the newly generated python module the interpreter spits out an 
unresolved symbols error message:

Python 2.2.1 (#1, Sep 10 2002, 17:49:17)

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import logger

the bjam verbose output is:

could someone be so kind as to help me resolve this problem?





thanx in advance,
