./configure --with-python=/usr/local/epd/bin/python generate Makefile with /home/ischnell in paths

[GoogleCodeExporter]

If I try and run configure with an alternative install of python the
resulting Makefile seems to include references to a developers home area.

For example,

./configure --with-python=/usr/local/epd/bin/python

results in a Makefile with the following entries being generated:
CPPFLAGS = 
-I/home/ischnell/pc/var/tmp/EPD_Py25-4.1.301-1/work/Python-2.5.2/epd_py25-4.1.30
1/include/python2.5
-DNDEBUG 
CFLAGS =  
LDFLAGS = 
-L/home/ischnell/pc/var/tmp/EPD_Py25-4.1.301-1/work/Python-2.5.2/epd_py25-4.1.30
1/lib
-L/usr/local/epd/lib/python2.5/config 

We have no user called ischnell. I get the same result for modwsgi 2.8 and 3.1.

The -I/-L etc come from the Python installation. What appears to be happening 
is that you are using a 
precompiled Python installation where who originally installed it did so into a 
different location and then its 
location in the filesystem was moved.

If all the parts of the Python installation had been moved, including the 
include and lib/python2.5/config 
directory, then you might get it working by editing:

  /usr/local/epd/lib/python2.5/config/Makefile

and fixing up value of 'prefix', and possibly other values so they refer 
properly to where the Python installation 
was moved to.

BTW, this sort of question should really have been directed to the mod_wsgi 
mailing list.

Thanks Graham,

You are entirely right. This is an Enthought Python issue. I did not understand 
how
configure was working in this instance. At the time it seemed a clear bug. 
Sorry.
