I works well on Linux. But on FreeBSD when i use ../bin/python setup.py build_ext --inplace
to select my own build python interpreter it is not using the correct library paths and therefore complains that it can't find the - lpython2.5 library. Using python-config i also don't see that the lib directory based on the --prefix option is not used anywhere for the library. Must i set LIBRARY_PATH by hand? If i have to it seems like a bug to me, because the information is there and the build tools should use it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
