/usr/local/bin should be before /usr/bin.  Otherwise any user  
additions in /usr/local/bin that also exist in /usr/bin will never be  
used.  Python is one of those, if you opted for the python symlinks  
(the Unix Tools option).

But the Profile Changes option should have added a direct path to the  
Python binary to your PATH.  If it's there, it also should be before / 
usr/bin.

It should be a suggestion for when there are problems, as a last  
resort.  In normal situations, it should just work.  If not, check  
PATH settings.  Then force it, if all else fails, with the pymoddir  
option.

I'm ditching my Xcode project for GDAL 1.5.  I'm working on getting  
the configure-make framework build back to a usable state - mostly  
ready, except for the ng-python build.

Do you know anything about libtool?
