I just repeated your results on our machine and have a couple of
comments / questions.  The source package for Python 2.3 uses build
rules that are incompatible with FSF GCC.  So, I built Python with the
Apple-distributed GCC 3.1 and Boost.Python with the FSF-distributed GCC
3.3.1.

I'm using Boost.Python 1.30.0 (with Debian patches) with G++ 3.3.1 on
Debian without any ICE's.  Can you elaborate?

Finally, have you or anyone else had any experience building
Boost.Python with a non-framework installation of Python (such as that
packaged by fink)?

Thanks,
