#17998: Linking to Python 2.5 framework is broken due to broken symlinks --------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Reporter: evert.rol@… | Owner: mww@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Keywords: python boost framework symlink | Port: python25 --------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Comment(by raimue@…): Replying to [comment:8 mleinart@…]: You cannot install into `${prefix}/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5` as it is a symlink. While I did the framework transition, I decided to use the old location for site-packages and symlink that into the framework. Otherwise it would have required manual reinstallation of all py25-* ports. Moving everything into the framework did also cause problems, for example binaries being installed in the framework only and not available in PATH without manual fixing. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17998#comment:12> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
