Description Rex Dieter 2014-05-29 12:18:59 UTC
It seems that boost-python has no linkage-to or dependency on libpython.  I discovered this investigating possibly related bug #1101626

The last boost-python that links against libpython appears to be boost-python-1.48.0 (I inspected http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=3167510 )

$ rpm -q boost-python
boost-python-1.54.0-9.fc20.x86_64

$ rpm -qR boost-python | grep py

Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2014-05-29 12:33:33 UTC
Looks like this may be on purpose,

Respect ABI flags of libpython

Filed https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/10079 for this.

We will need at least the patch that I'm attaching in addition to the patchled in the referenced bug, as currently on Fedora we have libpython3.2m.so, not libpython3.2.so.  I will possibly open a separate bug to track this depending on how the referenced bug evolves.

Spec file fix

The following is another upstream ticket somewhat tangential to this issue (in that the Boost.Python test suite fails, although it likely fails irrespective of whether we apply the DT_NEEDED patches):
  https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/10923

The patches make the test fail because then -lpythonXY is brought in, and exec test fails, because it requests static linking, and we don't ship static -lpython in Fedora.  exec-dynamic works though, and I'm somewhat inclined to dismiss this failure.

The originating problem was trying to use mathematical functions in a python script in kig, that is still impossible.  A workaround in Fedora 21 is

$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libpython2.7.so.1.0 kig --nofork
