I should have mentioned that openbabel & kdeedu4 also then compiled without 
problem. I have no idea what caused the original failure or how the cure could 
have been connected to the recompiling of gnome2-2.26.3. However I can report 
that immediately before the recompile I again tried to compile boost-python-
libs and it then failed with errors identical to those copied into this 
thread.
