Well, if mpi.so does not have a dependency on libboost_mpi, this is a separate matter from it not having a soname. I still think that not having a soname is fine, while not having a dependency on libboost_mpi sounds like a bug.

Looking at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Python I see paths like: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages Does it seem like it's gonna work? BTW, 'mpi.so' sounds too generic, using 'boost_mpi.so' would be better IMO. - Volodya _______________________________________________ Boost-cmake mailing list Boost-cmake@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-cmake
