In cases where that doesn't work, PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH will permit this. I've fixed apbs and pdb2pqr along these lines. The fix, however, is not perfect. As long as there is only ONE system python, I think it is ok. But if for example you build your own Python.framework in /Library/Frameworks, as I did for Python2.4.2, even if you specify py_path as /usr/bin/python2.3 (the 10.3 and 10.4 system default version), if linking against the Framework, it will go for the latest version framework. I have been unable to figure out how to coerce it to build against what is in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework instead of the one I put into /Library/Frameworks. (I've also similarly been unable to figure out how to build pdb2pqr against the conventional python libraries in fink, which is probably a safer and more kosher way to do this.) In short, it isn't the ideal fix. Bill ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!
