How to compile graph-tool in ubuntu

I am trying to compile and install graph-tool version 2.26 in ubuntu using
./configure but I am getting following error

I have tried ./configure --with-python-boost=no but have obtained the same
error ...

I have also added the config.log if that helps

Please follow the instructions provided in

https://git.skewed.de/count0/graph-tool/wikis/installation-instructions#manual-compilation

and verify that you have all the dependencies installed.

Optionally, install the provided ubuntu packages, which should be much easier.

Best,
