>>> Saw your post on Metakit build on Tiger with a Python 2.4
>>> framework. Had the same problem here and just found the solution
>>> so I thought I would forward along. After configuring in the
>>> build directory, edit the Makefile and add this:
>>>
>>> PYTHONLIB_LD = g++ -bundle -framework Python
>>>
>>> Then find the target for Mk4py and change it to use the link
>>> variable above, ie., uses PYTHONLIB_LD vs. SHLIB_LD.
>>>
>>> Mk4py$(SHLIB_SUFFIX): $(PYOBJS) $(LOBJS) $(LINK_SPECIAL_FILES)
>>> $(PYTHONLIB_LD) -o $@ $(PYOBJS) $(LOBJS) $(LINK_SPECIAL_FLAGS)
>>>
>>>
>>> a make install will copy the lib and python file to site-packages
>>> and then change the Mk4py.dylib to Mk4py.so and it should be
>>> groovy. Python 2.4 built as framework on 10.4 must enforce
>>> something new WRT loading shared libraries, either from Python or
>>> Tiger or both. Perhaps the 2.4.x framework misses adding .dylib

>>> doing something odd with its new dyld or it may have something to
>>> do with the framework build not generating a libpython24.dylib by
>>> default even though the 'Python' binary in the framework is
>>> exactly the same thing as the libpython2.dylib in /{opt or usr}/
>>> local/lib
>>>
>>> Note that I used the file path for the framework when I
>>> configured it from also, like so:
>>>
>>> ../unix/configure --prefix=/opt/local --with-python=/Library/
>>> Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4
>>>
>>> I ran into numerous issues getting Python 2.4.2 building and
>>> copying resources correctly as a framework without hosing the
>>> installed Python. I ran into more issues with PyObjC, AppScript
>>> and pythonw and Redland. I had to create a lot of the symlinks
>>> and manually copy resrouces and libpython2.dylib myself. The
>>> portfile for Python 2.4 on DarwinPorts is completely wrong. Using
>>> the Python 2.3 makefile and sources Apple puts up as part of
>>> Darwin as a reference helped quite a bit.
>>>
>>> I'll send mail to Jean-Claude with the problem so he can make a
>>> patch/fix/whatever.
