<div>Eric,</div>

<div>I looked online at the two websites you gave me, but they dont seem to have rpms for the linux builds that I am sending to. I am using Suse 11.x. The people who are currently trying to install the program have Redhat. If I made an rpm of the boost python library, would it work on their system? Either way (finding it online or creating it myself) the linux type will be different.</div>
