build stopped because of error...

Asked by Weimin Song

Dear all,

When I installed escript, error happened that:

scons -j1 options_file=scons/templates/centos7_0_options.py

scons: Reading SConscript files ...
Using options in scons/templates/centos7_0_options.py.

What's wrong with it? How to solve the problem?

It looks like you do not have boost python installed. (or the options file does not match the version you do have).

If you do have it installed, please let us know which version of centos you are running.

The python version is 2.7.11+, it is pre-installed in Ubuntu 16.04.

Section 3.3.2 of the install guide talks about the packages you need to install in Ubuntu.
It requires you to choose an options file, try the vivid_options.py and see how that goes.
