Description Christopher HORLER 2024-01-13 16:15:50 UTC 
the compiler error:

/usr/include/boost/python/object/make_instance.hpp:50:31: error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment
             Py_SIZE(instance) = offsetof(instance_t, storage);
                               ^

this is fixed upstream:
https://github.com/boostorg/python/compare/boost-1.75.0...boost-1.79.0

the fix:
https://github.com/boostorg/python/commit/500194edb7833d0627ce7a2595fec49d0aae2484

I think this prevents compiling python311 packages in Leap with a Boost Python dependency.  Encountered when attempting to compile python311-mapnik.

ah, I guess it's not so simple if you're not building Boost Python for Python 3.11.
Comment 2 Arvin Schnell 2024-01-25 15:29:42 UTC 
On Leap 15.5 you are supposed to use boost 1.66. It is a mistake that other
versions are available but unfortunately they cannot be removed.
