Did the error (when trying to load the module) go away? And what was
the error message, if you remember it?

One more way to make installation of Redland bindings easier for other
users is to make sure it works on MacPorts (or Fink) so that it only
takes one command to install.

I tried to get redland-bindings port to compile and install and had
some progress, but in the end was getting an error when trying to load
the module:

Python 2.4.5 (#1, Jul  3 2008, 22:59:40)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import RDF
Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)
Abort trap

There were "symbol(s) not found" errors at first, but those went away
after adding `rasqal-config --libs` `raptor-config --libs` to the
Makefile. Not sure if this was a step in the right direction because
Python fails when loading the module.

More detailed description can be found at: http://trac.macports.org/ticket/13838

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks,
Uldis
