[Gdal-dev] No python support for x86_64 with kakadu?

Ok, here is the end of the compile output after setting LD_SHARED = g++ 
-shared (and running a make clean beforehand):

I re-made kakadu, and made certain that -fPIC was in the CC_OPTS, and it 
seems to wrk correct, with -fPIC on every command line shown during the 
make. Kakadu succesfully builds as a 64-bit shared library... or at 
least AFAICT:

[root at dragonfly gdal]# ldd /usr/local/lib64/libkdu_v42R.so
        libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.5 (0x0000002a956df000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib64/tls/libm.so.6 (0x0000002a958ba000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x0000002a959bd000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib64/tls/libc.so.6 (0x0000002a95ac8000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 => /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 
(0x000000552aaaa000)

I really don't know much about this stuff... being in 64-bit land makes 
everything more complicated. Any more ideas or help would be great!

Thanks,
Chris
