cannot find Python library path

Reported by: arb Owned by: strk
Priority: major Milestone: 3.6.6
Component: Build/Install Version: 3.6.2
Severity: Critical Keywords: python

Description

configure spits out the error "cannot find Python library path" because it is looking for libpython$PYTHON_VERSION.* but the library is libpython3.6m.a

I believe the find command should be changed from -name libpython$PYTHON_VERSION.* to -name "libpython$PYTHON_VERSION*" in macros/ac_python_devel.m4 and in configure. The quotes are required to escape the * The dot is missing because my library has a letter m after the digit. This might cause it to match more than before if the PYTHON_VERSION is a substring of several versions.
