Hi, I'm having a hard time getting python-mcrypt extension to build. I installed libmcrypt with --prefix=/usr and I checked that the library exists
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 352K Sep 19 16:53 /usr/lib/libmcrypt. 4.4.8.dylib* lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 21B Sep 19 16:53 /usr/lib/libmcrypt. 4.dylib@ -> libmcrypt.4.4.8.dylib lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 21B Sep 19 16:53 /usr/lib/ libmcrypt.dylib@ -> libmcrypt.4.4.8.dylib -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 801B Sep 19 16:53 /usr/lib/libmcrypt.la* But this is the output from setting up python-mcrypt # python setup.py build running build running build_ext building 'mcrypt' extension creating build creating build/temp.macosx-10.3-fat-2.5 gcc -arch ppc -arch i386 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk - fno-strict-aliasing -Wno-long-double -no-cpp-precomp -mno-fused-madd - fno-common -dynamic -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -DVERSION="1.1" -I/usr/include -I/ Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/include/python2.5 -c mcrypt.c -o build/temp.macosx-10.3-fat-2.5/mcrypt.o creating build/lib.macosx-10.3-fat-2.5 gcc -arch i386 -arch ppc -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -g -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup build/temp.macosx-10.3-fat-2.5/ mcrypt.o -lmcrypt -o build/lib.macosx-10.3-fat-2.5/mcrypt.so /usr/bin/ld: for architecture ppc /usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -lmcrypt collect2: ld returned 1 exit status /usr/bin/ld: for architecture i386 /usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -lmcrypt collect2: ld returned 1 exit status lipo: can't open input file: /var/tmp//ccGRKjU2.out (No such file or directory) error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 What am I missing here? I linked PHP with the same libmcrypt library just fine. This is only happening for this extension only. Would appreciate any help, thx Ahmad Baitalmal -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
