python-ldap OS X 10.6 and Python 2.6

Question

Trying to install python-ldap for my Django project -- so far tried easy_install, pip, as well as building myself, but still getting the same errors:

dlopen(         


        

Answer 1

I had to modify setup.cfg to get this to work on OS X. Here's what I did:

wget http://python-ldap.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/python-ldap/?view=tar --output-document=python-ldap.tar.gz
tar xvf python-ldap.tar.gz
cd python-ldap

Modify the following lines in setup.cfg:

library_dirs = /usr/local/lib
include_dirs = /usr/local/include /usr/include/sasl
libs = ldap lber sasl2 ssl crypto

Then continue with "normal" installation:

python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
