scons: *** [bindings/python/mapnik_geometry.os] Error 1

[Dmitry1987]

Hi guys, I'm really sorry if I should not duplicate my posts, but it's my 1st time here. I posted my issue in an old 'topic' from 2011, and now noticed it is 'closed'.
So, now when I figured out what's-where on this site, here is my problem:

google brought me here after I searched:

scons: *** [bindings/python/mapnik_geometry.os] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.
make: *** [mapnik] Error 2

I have installed boost_1_56, and all other libs I found related (from guides of others).

./configure of mapnik shows: All Required dependencies found!

then on "make" it starts with:
....................
scons: warning: Support for pre-2.7.0 Python version (2.6.6) is deprecated.
File "scons/scons.py", line 192, in
scons: Building targets ... [ ====> and here goes "g++ bla bla bla....." a lot <=====]
..................=====> and stops with <=== ............
scons: *** [bindings/python/mapnik_geometry.os] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.
make: *** [mapnik] Error 2
...........................
what can be wrong? I installed python 2.7 with "make & make altinstall" as guided somewhere. but it didn't help.

Also, something tells me this lines will explain where is the problem (......no matching function for call to ‘eval(const boost........): so i guess it has something to do with boost library?

=> include/mapnik/util/geometry_to_svg.hpp:42: instantiated from here
=> /usr/local/include/boost/phoenix/statement/if.hpp:62: error: no matching function for call to
=> ‘eval(const boost::phoenix::actor >, 0l>,

Thank you!

What Mapnik version are you trying to install?

[Dmitry1987]

it is 2.2.0 i guess because I used:
git clone https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik.git
cd mapnik
git checkout v2.2.0

I'm actually a bit noob in linux, only 1 year experience.

thanks for quick reply :) I appreciate.

I follow a mix of guides in russian and this one: http://duemafoss.blogspot.co.il/2014/02/installation-of-openstreetmap-server-on.html

try:

git checkout 2.2.x

or:

git checkout 2.3.x

Which have fixes for what you are hitting.

Thanks! It helped to pass the 'geometry..' file problem. but then stopped after some long time on:
.........................................
bindings/python/mapnik_font_engine.os -Ldeps/agg -Lsrc -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib -lmapnik -lboost_python -lboost_thread

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_python

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
scons: *** [bindings/python/mapnik/_mapnik.so] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.
make: *** [mapnik] Error 2
......................................
(what's the "cannot find -lboost_python" ? seems like linked library missing? in my ld.so.conf i have ----> include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
/usr/local/lib <-----
and a lot of stuff in "ld.so.conf.d/" folder. )

thank you.

You need to install boost_python.

[Dmitry1987]

Thanks :) after installing boost-python, boost-devel, and coz i was frustrated boost-* :D it worked.

Is there a list of 'all needed dependencies' somewhere? I didn't find it in README
