Bug 157961

Description of problem:
kig does not have python scripting support enabled (no "script" button and
no python-script object in Objects->Other menu).



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kdeedu-3.4.0-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start kig
2. press Objects menu, then Other
3. an entry "python script" should be present
  

Actual Results:  No python scripting possible

Expected Results:  both a button and a menu entry for python scripting

Additional info:

During compile time there is a check for the presence of the libboost libraries,
necessary for the python scripting support in kig.
In the present case presumably the problem is due to an incompatibility between
the installed boost libraries:
boost-1.32.0-3
boost-devel-1.32.0-3
and the compatibility compiler:
compat-gcc-32-3.2.3-47.fc4
compat-gcc-32-c++-3.2.3-47.fc4
compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.fc4
(note that kde does not compile with gcc 4.0.0)

as a counter-proof, kig was successfully compiled (with python scripting)
using gcc version 3.4.2; a proof of concept rpm was then created that can
be tested under FC4T3.  Such rpm can be found at
http://dmf.unicatt.it/~paolini/kig/fedora_core_4/
in the same place you can also find a "compat-gcc-c++-34..." package
that contains the 3.4.2 gcc compiler + libstdc++ necessary to compile kig.
The corresponding "src.rpm" however is fake and also contains only the
executables of the compiler: I do not have the skill to produce a proper
"src.rpm".
