at run time, no. At built time, then: > I can probably go and hack on the setup.py/setupext.py that's how. The tough part is that AFAICT, there is no way to specify a particular lib to link to, rather, you specify where to look for libs, so you need to make sure that it's looking where you want before where you don't want. Ideally, the MPL community would decide on which is the "canonical" choice, and that would be how setup.py would be written. But there are so many options, it's hard to come to consensus. Personally, I'd like to see the "Kyng Chaos" frameworks be the "standard" basis for python extension binaries: http://www.kyngchaos.com/software:frameworks That's a pretty complete set, and would support MPL, PIL, etc, etc.... But it seems folks prefer to do static linking for distributed binaries, which is good too, but a bit tricky, as gcc really prefers to dynamically link -- it's easy to accidentally include a dynamic link without realizing it. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
