Boost.Python Quickstart Failing

I am trying to run the quickstart example found here

I am able to follow the instructions all the way through 3.1.4 where bjam is invoked but the tests all fail despite that is IS successfully finding python.

first of 9 similar error messages

  • I am on Ubuntu 16.04
  • boost version 1.66.0
  • Python 3.5
  • gcc 5.4.0
  • bjam 2014.03

Any hints as to what the problem is would be greatly appreciated!

Solution

  • Update: @sehe was correct. It was using python2.7 instead of 3.5.
