[Python-Dev] Question for you

[Connor, Craig A.]

Hello, Dave;
   My name is Craig Connor and I am a senior s/w developer at Northrop
Grumman.
I have a question for you. I have installed Boost (via the Installer),
and stored it into my 
C Drive inside a dir called:  
    C:\boost_1_42

I also installed the Boost Jam into a directory called: 
   C:\boost-jam-3.1.17

I am using 2 separate compilers in my Win OS XP (SP3)
and I would like to be able to use the Python module of Boost
in order to embed Python.h into my C++ compiler.

The C++ compilers that I have are:
o Dev-cpp, and 
o Visual C++.net  (of MS Visual Studio.Net 2008).

Problem:
   When I compile a simple program, I keep getting the error:
"pyconfig.h: No such file or directory".

The program I am trying to start with is (below):
#include <iostream>
#include<boost/any.hpp>
#include<boost/python.hpp>

using namespace std;

int main( )
{
  cout << "Hello, Boost World!!" << endl;
  boost::any a(5);
  a = 7.67;
  std::cout<<boost::any_cast<double>(a)<<std::endl;
  
  system( "PAUSE" );
  return 0;
} 


Also:
  I did set up my environmental config to go to the Boost dir.

Question:
  Do you know what am I doing wrong?

Regards,
   Craig Connor
