Error building Python wrapper

While trying to build the python wrapper, I come across the following error while running ./build.sh.

Oddly though, building StarSpace (non-python) worked fine. Would any be able to direct me to how I could fix this?

Nvm, found the issue.

The build process must use boost 1.63.

Had to run this snippet to fix this:

$wget https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/release/1.63.0/source/boost_1_63_0.zip
$unzip boost_1_63_0.zip
$sudo mv boost_1_63_0 /usr/local/bin

Thanks @eugeneyan !

a quick improvement :
unzip -d /usr/local/bin boost_1_63_0.zip
