Installation

1. Python

   0. download python from http://www.python.org
   
   1. to install under LINUX, do
      
      ./configure --prefix=YOUR_INSTALL_DIR
      make
      make install
      
   2. to install under SGI, do
   
      ./configure --without-gcc --with-cxx=CC  --prefix=YOUR_INSTALL_DIR
      make
      make install
   
   

2. Boost Python

   0. Download boost source code from: http://www.boost.org.
      Assume it is boost_1_29_0. 
   
   1. Download 'bjam' for your platform.
   
      Local lab copies can be got from:
        1) linux-x86: ftp://water.3dem.bioch.bcm.tmc.edu/eman/bin/bjam.linux
        2) SGI Irix: ftp://water.3dem.bioch.bcm.tmc.edu/eman/bin/bjam.sgi
      Then rename it to 'bjam'.
   	
   2. set up environment variables for 'bjam':
      - PYTHON_ROOT
      - PYTHON_VERSION
   
      For example, if your python is at: /usr/bin/python. PYTHON_ROOT
      is '/usr'; PYTHON_VERSION is 2.2 if you are using python 2.2.X.
         
   3. cd boost_1_29_0/libs/python/build
   
   4. run 'bjam' with your options:
      1) linux-x86: % bjam
      2) SGI Irix:  % bjam "-sTOOLS=mipspro"	
   	
   
   5. copy file 'libboost_python.so' under
      'boost_1_29_0/libs/python/build/bin/...' directory to /usr/local/lib.
   
   6. copy everything under boost_1_29_0/boost to /usr/local/include:
      % cp -rf boost_1_29_0/boost /usr/local/include
