python bindings do not install with DESTDIR set, libtool complaining

@phopfgartner what do you get when you run

/usr/bin/python -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print get_python_lib(1)"

from a shell?

This is the output I'm getting:

$ make DESTDIR="/Users/rpmbuild/tmp/destdir.ms62" install
...
cd mapscript/python; make install DESTDIR=/Users/rpmbuild/tmp/destdir.ms62;

@phopfgartner also, what do you get when you run ./libtool --version from /home/rpmbuild/tmp/mapserver-6.2.0-beta2 ?

[phopfgartner]

It's:

[rpmbuild@rpm-el6-devel mapserver-6.2.0-beta2]$ ./libtool --version
libtool (GNU libtool) 2.4.2

And ...

[rpmbuild@rpm-el6-devel mapserver-6.2.0-beta2]$ /usr/bin/python -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print get_python_lib(1)"
/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages

[tbonfort]

can you:

• pull branch-6-2 and work off the latest code
• reconfigure and make clean

if it's still failing, can you provide the contents of mapscript/python/Makefile and mapscript/python/_mapscript.la

thanks,

[phopfgartner]

Works fine, now. Thanks!
