[Gdal-dev] continued build problems..

[Byron Amerson]

Once again, thank you Frank.  I have been follwing your suggestions and
learning quite a bit which is great.

None the less gdal refuse to build on my mac.  It can't seem to find
Numeric for one thing -

Using a nightly snapshot from a few days ago, here is my config command:

sudo ./configure --with-local=/usr/local/include/python2.3/Numeric
--with-libz=internal --with-png=internal --with-libtiff=internal
--with-geotiff=internal --with-jpeg=internal --with-gif=internal
--with-pg=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config

and the last few lines of the resulting output:

checking where .py files should go...
/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages
checking for python headers... found
checking definitions from Python makefile... done
checking for NumPy include files... missing
checking if local/include already standard... no, everything is ok
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating GDALmake.opt
config.status: creating port/cpl_config.

below is the output from make:

g++ -Wl,-bind_at_load  -o .libs/_gdalmodule.so -bundle  .libs/gdal_wrap.o
.libs/numpydataset.o .libs/gdalnumeric.o  -L/usr/local/pgsql/lib

evidently --with-local=/usr/local/include/python2.3/Numeric is not the
correct modifier as it seems that make is looking for shared libs in the
above directory.  I was just attempting to get gdal to see where the
Numeric headers lived.

Incidentally - I completely rebuilt python2.3.2 and postgresql7.4beta5
When I ran make for postgres it griped that libpython was not shared so it
could not build the PLPYTHON bits.  I don't know if this (python shared
libs) is relevant.

I don't know how to proceed. It would be great to b using GRASS about
now...
