Hello --

summary: I'm trying to compile the boost python library using a custom
installed python on osx. however, it appears to be linking to the
system library, not the installed library.


I'm using OSX 10.6.2, which has python 2.6.1 by default. I wanted to
try to install 2.6.4 just to see how the process works. I
To install python, I did this:
./configure  --enable-framework
make
make install

which put the distribution here:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/python2.6

I changed a boost config file to read:
using python
      : 2.6
      : /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/python2.6
      : /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/include/python2.6
      : /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/config ;

and compiled the library. However, when I examine the library itself:
% otool -L libboost_python.dylib
libboost_python.dylib:
        libboost_python.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 
0.0.0)
        /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Python
(compatibility version 2.6.0, current version 2.6.1)
        /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current 
version 7.9.0)
        /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 125.0.0)

I can see that it linked to the system's version. Why did it choose
that one? The problem is that when I run my code, I get the error:
Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)
../../../triad.sh: line 9: 59136 Abort trap              python $@


the OS gives me a popup window mentioning all the linked libraries:

Where i've deleted all the lines with my libraries. Note: I can do this:
/Library/Frameworks> sudo mv Python.Framework temp.Python.Framework
and then everything works fine. So I assume that the problem is the
one python file 2.6.1 which didn't come from the same python path as
the other python paths. When I compile, I get this:
% bjam -d 2 release
...

 -lpython2.6    -headerpad_max_install_names -Wl,-dead_strip
-no_dead_strip_inits_and_terms

So again we can see that it's finding the header files for each object
file, but then when they're all being linked, it's seems to be
skipping the library that (I think) it should be picking:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/config> ls -lrt
total 208

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin    15B Feb 26 12:25 libpython2.6.a@ -> ../../../Python


I tried changing the name of the library to something else more unique
and manually ran the link line (outside of bjam), and I *can* link to
it, so that's not the problem. Why isn't it choosing the -L selected
libpython2.6.a? Or maybe I'm doing something else wrong. Or maybe it's
Apple's fault, or maybe I need to update boost from 1.40.
