I assumed for some reason that those paths would be taken care of by --with-boost

However after building numpy and then attempting to build scipy and finding it needs BLAS which is written in fortran I have stopped trying to get graph-tool to work. There are far too many dependencies for it to be a reasonable product for my use case. I'll revert to boost-graph directly in c++ for my needs.

Many thanks for your help in trying to get this to work.

Thanks

Gerry

The configure script finds the include paths, but the compiler/linker
still need to known where the binaries are. This is done via the
LDFLAGS. You only passed the path to the python library, but you need to
pass the path to the boost libraries as well.
