A friend of mine wanted the libboost libraries installed on our shared computer so after installing libboost-all-dev 1.49.0.1 (a Debian wheezy machine), I get this error when using the pydoc modules command on the commandline. It spits out the following error --root@debian:/usr/include/c++/4.7# pydoc modulesPlease wait a moment while I gather a list of all available modules...**[debian:49065] [[INVALID],INVALID] ORTE_ERROR_LOG: A system-required executable either could not be found or was not executable by this user in file ../../../../../../orte/mca/ess/singleton/ess_singleton_module.c at line 357[debian:49065] [[INVALID],INVALID] ORTE_ERROR_LOG: A system-required executable either could not be found or was not executable by this user in file ../../../../../../orte/mca/ess/singleton/ess_singleton_module.c at line 230[debian:49065] [[INVALID],INVALID] ORTE_ERROR_LOG: A system-required executable either could not be found or was not executable by this user in file ../../../orte/runtime/orte_init.c at line 132--------------------------------------------------------------------------It looks like orte_init failed for some reason; your parallel process islikely to abort.

As you guessed I'm not a C/C++ programmer. So I guess my question is, will this hurt something later? Is there a way to install those packages without hurting Python?
