That's not enough.

1) extract boost.

2) make a new directory, preferably not in the boost source tree

3) cp the linux_gcc.mak from boost_1_23_0/libs/python/build to the new
dir

4) edit linux_gcc.mak so the settings for the variables are correct

5) run "make -f linux_gcc.mak softlinks"

6) finally run "make -f linux_gcc.mak" and cross your fingers.
