Till Toenshoff commented on MESOS-1010:
---------------------------------------

The issue is indeed nasty - ran into it myself just now, after having gflags 
installed (on OSX via homebrew). 

After fixing this by temporarily uninstalling the gflags distribution, I ran 
into the next, equally nasty issue; 

I had leveldb preinstalled as well and its distribution linked against 
libsnappy. As the mesos-python module does not link against that library, I 
once again got missing symbols when running make-check; 
__ZN6snappy11RawCompressEPKcmPcPm (snappy::RawCompress(char const*, unsigned 
long, char*, unsigned long*)).

I think that do need a proper fix for this situation as it renders the 
python-binding unusable for developers that build mesos out of the sources but 
have gflags and/or leveldb installed.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: build, python api
>         Environment: Fedora 20, amd64. GCC: 4.8.2.

> In my environment mesos build from master results in broken python api module 
> {{_mesos.so}}:
> {noformat}
> nekto0n@ya-darkstar ~/workspace/mesos/src/python $ 
> PYTHONPATH=build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/ python -c "import _mesos"
> Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
> ImportError: 
> /home/nekto0n/workspace/mesos/src/python/build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/_mesos.so:
>  undefined symbol: _ZN6google14FlagRegistererC1EPKcS2_S2_S2_PvS3_
> {noformat}
> Unmangled version of symbol looks like this:

> During {{./configure}} step {{glog}} finds {{gflags}} development files and 
> starts using them, thus *implicitly* adding dependency on {{libgflags.so}}. 
> This breaks Python extensions module and perhaps can break other mesos 
> subsystems when moved to hosts without {{gflags}} installed.
