Failure to find libpython during darwin (Mac OS) install

GEOS-3.0.0 At lines 24411 to 24420 in configure:

# Check for Python library path
{ echo "$as_me:$LINENO: checking for Python library path" >&5
echo "checking for Python library path... " >&6; }

for i in "$base_python_path/lib/python$PYTHON_VERSION/config/" "$base_python_path/lib/python$PYTHON_VERSION/" "$base_python_path/lib/python/config/" "$base_python_path/lib/python/" "$base_python_path/" "$base_python_path/lib/" ; do

# python_path=`find $i -type f -name libpython$PYTHON_VERSION.* -print 2> /dev/null | sed "1q"`

python_path=`find $i -name libpython$PYTHON_VERSION.* -print 2> /dev/null | sed "1q"`

  if test -n "$python_path" ; then
     break
  fi
done

The use of -type f in the commented out line prevents file 'libpython*.*' from being found. Installation works when -type omitted.

Harvey,

Thanks for this report. I've applied your fix to the trunk (r2140).

I tested it on Mac OS X 10.5 and Linux Ubuntu 7.04. Closing.
