Any word on this? I seem to recall asking Uberlord about this and there was something else, but I can't remember currently.
Upstream now query pythons Makefile on how to link to python (good!) however, it's not correctly done on FreeBSD. See depending bug!
Upstream fix - http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=404943
That upstream fix is already in pyorbit 2.14.2, which is already in the tree. Does that not fix the problem?
Fixed.
