[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#410692: libboost-python-dev: does not build when libpthread-dev is installed

[Ben Dean-Kawamura]

Package: libboost-python-dev
Version: 1.33.1-10
Severity: important


After I install libpthread-dev, I can't compile programs that include 
python.hpp.  For example a .cpp file that just contains the following 
line fails to build:

#include <boost/python.hpp>

I compiled it with the following command:

gcc -I/usr/include/python2.4 -c test.cpp -o test.o

The output was:

/usr/include/pthread.h:285: error: conflicting declaration 'typedef struct pthread_st* pthread_t'
/usr/include/bits/pthreadtypes.h:152: error: 'pthread_t' has a previous declaration as 'typedef long unsigned int pthread_t'
