I can't reproduce your error on CGAL 4.0. What CGAL version are you
using exactly? What is the output of gcc --version?

It seems you are not using CMake. Can you try `cgal_create_cmake_script`
in the alpha_shapes_3 example folder and use make to compile? e.g.:

cd /path/to/alpha_shapes_3/example
cgal_create_cmake_script
cmake .
make ex_alpha_shapes_with_fast_location_3

There is a new CGAL bindings project [1] as CGAL python is no longer
maintained. Maybe what you need is there. Otherwise post a request on
the mailing list.
