Max OSX 10.8 build problems - seg fault

What version of pyexiv2 are you compiling? Is it the latest release (0.3.2), or the tip of the trunk (revision 376)?
If it is the release, can you try again with the tip of the trunk (bzr branch lp:pyexiv2) and let me know if it’s any better?

Hi Olivier,

That was actually for version 0.3.0. I tried with 0.3.2, and the same thing (seg fault).

Just now, I tried with tip of the trunk, and also received a seg fault when trying "import pyexiv2". This is with a freshly upgraded brew as well.

Here is the updated crash report:

Please let me know if there is something I can do to help figure this out, as this is an excellent library that I really want to be able to develop locally with.

Forgot the console output:

Unfortunately I am without a clue here (not using pyexiv2 on MacOS myself)…

The System Python and the Homebrew Python are being linked into libexiv2python.

I have about the same problem here, on OSX 10.6.8 with Homebrew.

Mixing python versions isn't good...
Somehow the compilation is picking the 'wrong' Python. Don't know how to solve yet.

I got it to work. A few details:

Like me, the OP also uses a brewed Python. In my case I have an 'universal' and 'framework' Python. Both boost and pyexiv2 must use the same Python version.

In order to have boost using the brewed Python, you might need to compile it instead of using a pre-compiled bottle (which seems to using the System Python). Try to remove boost and reinstall with the '--universal' flag (it will take a while to compile).

Finally, pyexiv2 have to be tweaked to find the brewed python 'framework'.
The following patch over the homebrew pyexiv2 formula (https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/pyexiv2.rb) got me going.

Hope it helps!
Sure it is hardcoded to homebrew, I am not sure what would be a better way to handle this, perhaps having arguments similar to BOOSTLIB on the SConscript...
