configure:Checking for python2.5, libpython2.5, libpython, python, or Python ... no


It's looking for python.a or python.so but we have python.o. Patch to follow.

Of course that's just a superficial fix. Instead, configure should use python-config --libs (et cetera) instead of pretending to know where to find libpython*.so

Oh, and it fails to actually fix the problem later on in the build process.

jer, this goes away with 5.22 for you?

[Comment 6 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) 2009-07-16 02:45:53 UTC]

Please stabilize sci-physics/root-5.22.00-r2. It is required for compatibility with Python 2.6.*.

[Comment 7 Ferris McCormick (RETIRED) 2009-07-16 03:12:03 UTC]

root-5.22.00-r2 stable on sparc.

[Comment 8 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) 2009-07-16 07:01:15 UTC]

x86 stable

[Comment 9 Jeremy Olexa (darkside) (RETIRED) 2009-07-19 22:56:18 UTC]

Why does everybody keep hijacking bug reports?

No, I don't recall establishing that this issue is indeed fixed, fauli.
