------------------------------------------
Hi Erik -
Thanks for the patch! Doc updates are always really helpful.
I feel like the current README is already pretty explicit about the need to
make sure the C libraries are in the system's library path. Also, you recommend
that users run ldconfig, but not all systems have it. Perhaps you could
rephrase this to say something like "The C libraries are by default installed
in /usr/local/lib. If your system has ldconfig, you might find it easiest to
add /usr/local/lib to ld.so.conf rather than manipulating the system-global
library paths (this is in particular useful when trying to use zkpython from
outside your own user's context)."
Also, that's a very specific warning to print in setup.py. Could you just point
users to the README if you think that they will have trouble finding it?
Something like "zkpython 0.4 - please see README for detailed installation
instructions".
cheers,
Henry

> When setting up and using the zkpython binding, sometimes you encounter the
> problem that python cannot find the file "libzookeeper_mt.so.2". This can be
> fixed in most cases by for example adding the line "export
> LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/" to your .bashrc file. I some cases though,
> when for example running your python script from within a fcgi context and a
> lighttpd server it still isn't able to find the file.
