Comment(by jhpalmieri):

 A followup: on my mac, perhaps because of various symbolic links, whenever
 I run "sage -b", I see a message like
 {{{
 warning: Replacing library search directory in linker command:
   "/Applications/sage_builds/sage-4.6/local/lib" ->
 "/Applications/sage/local/lib"
 }}}
 I can run "sage -b" three times in a row, and I see this message all three
 times.

 This may be because of symbolic links: "/Applications/sage" is a link
 pointing to "/Applications/sage_builds/sage-4.6/".

 Perhaps in setup.py, we should use os.path.realpath?  For example,
 {{{

 If this sounds like a good idea, I can open a new ticket with this patch.
