[C++-sig] boost.python error

[Ricardo Kirkner]

Hi:

I tried to compile my module several ways. I managed to get pass the
undefined symbol error, by compiling the module directly (not using
bjam). However, now I am getting the following error:

ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initopal)

I believe that the problem with bjam might be a Jamfile/Jamrules
configuration error. (I could correctly compile the hello world
example)

Please, if anyone knows a little more about this, give me a hand :-)

Regards,

Ricardo Kirkner
