I decided to go with the simplest approach for 1.2b4:

It seems that there's a find_library bug involving Solaris
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/new-bugs-announce/2009-February/004177.html
so I'm avoiding it. That function works fine on Linux and OS X.

You're right; my problems have been on solaris not using GNU libc. I
don't know quite what the purpose is, but if linked against GNU
libcm platform.libc_ver() returns quite a different result - a
specific libc code version rather than the file system libc version.
If you take a copy of platform.libc_ver(), disable the GLIBC_ match
string (worst case just replace it with GxxxLIBC_ so that it does
not match) then it correctly picks up the libc.so.6 version on linux
too.
I confirm that on solaris 10 with python compiled by Sun Studio
compilers libc.so.1 is required. sys.platform is sunos5
Alternatively or perhaps in addition, it might be worth adding an
override option to shapely so that users of new systems can specify
the libc version in their code.
Cheers & thanks for the quick response.

Hi
Bug report - is there a better place to post these?
I've temporarily turned off registration on the wiki while I figure
out what to do about spammers, but I'll gladly set you up with a
login.
Shapely has some issues if when not running on linux with libc.so.6
because libc.so.6 is hard-coded into shapely/geos/__init__.py and
not all platforms use v6. Solaris for example uses libc.so.1
can replace this..
free = CDLL('libc.so.6').free
with this which is more portable...
import platform
libc = platform.libc_ver()
free = CDLL(libc[0]+'.so.'+libc[1]).free
Cheers
I tested this on my Linux machine and it doesn't yield the 'libc.so.
6' that we need:
>>> free = CDLL('%s.so.%s' % platform.libc_ver()).free
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ctypes-1.0.2-py2.4-linux-
i686.egg/ctypes/__init__.py", line 340, in __init__

OSError: glibc.so.2.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file

I'm happy to add a new solaris platform section to geos.py. Will you
specify the platform string and double-check that libc_ver() really
returns ('libc', '1') in your situation?
