I tried it on two different systems, one with gcc 4.2.4 and one with gcc 4.3.3. Other relevant packages are: gccxml 0.9 (cvs from 2008-05-30), boost 1.39.0, pygccxml 1.0, pyplusplus 1.0. Can you tell me which combination of these packages can compile the short example?

Unfortunately, gccxml is not able to parse code, which includes
"boost/python.hpp" header file. You will have to find someway to
exclude it from compilation.
