[BUG] make check fails with conda python

[lucventurini]

I am also attaching the whole log file. Test done with conda python 3.6.7 on a Ubuntu bionic machine. test-suite.log

This is the relevant output from tests/test-suite.log:

Dynamic exception type: boost::exception_detail::clone_impl<portcullis::PortcullisPythonException>

Thanks Luca. I'll try and figure out what's causing that issue.

Hi Luca, I believe I have a fix for this in the develop branch, amongst a bunch of other changes. Do you want to try the make check on your side to see if it works. Due to all the issues we were having I have stripped out boost from the codebase so you'll need to make sure this is installed and configured on your system. This will make like easier in most cases I think, but will make portcullis a bit trickier to configure on the HPC environments. I've also improved the docker container and singularity recipes, so would recommend this approach if possible.

This is fixed in the latest release. Closing ticket.
