| Doc Text: |
Cause: The Boost.Python dynamic libraries are not linked with a dependency on libpython2.7.so for reasons which are not applicable to Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Consequence: Programs which use Boost.Python must link to libpython2.7.so explicitly.
Fix: The Boost.Python libraries are built with a dependency on the dynamic library from the system Python.
Result: Boost.Python dynamic libraries now have a dependency on the libpython2.7so dynamic library. It is no longer necessary to link to that dynamic library explicitly unless functions from it are used explicitly.

Description

Fixing this in Fedora caused bogus RPATH entries in all Boost libraries, see Bug 1318383 I'd like to avoid that for RHEL. (In reply to Jonathan Wakely from comment #1) > Fixing this in Fedora caused bogus RPATH entries in all Boost libraries, see > Bug 1318383 See bug 1318383 comment 7 for a possible fix. I have the fix for this ready but it needs the rhel-7.3.0 ack before I can push it and build an update. Verified for build boost-1.53.0-26.el7. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
