binary release assumes libboost_python-1.32, fails to run without it

[juergen.ott@…]

I downloaded

​ftp://ftp.atnf.csiro.au/pub/software/asap/asap_linux.tar.bz2

on 2006-05-25

I was installing asap on Debian etch (testing) and received the following error message:

I do have /usr/lib/libboost_python-gcc-mt-1_33_1.so.1.33.1

I also have the unversioned symlink /usr/lib/libboost_python.so - see here

  ls -l /usr/lib/libboost*

Is it not possible to have the code use different versions of this library?

An etch/ubuntu dapper release is now avaible in the ftp area.
