Difficult -- it's the hg version of luxrays I was trying to build.

The problem is fairly obvious though:

$ nm -D /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_python.so | grep \ Py

gives a set of undefined symbols that would be provided by libpython2.7

$ nm -D /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1.0 | grep \ Py

but libboost_python.so is not linked against libpython2.7:

$ ldd
