[redland-dev] Building redland-bindings on Mac OS X Leopard

Hello,

Thanks to your answers, I've made various tests are here is what have
give me the best result :

1. ./configure --with-python --with-python-ldflags="-Wl,-F. -Wl,-F.
-bundle -framework Python"
2. Adding `rasqal-config --libs` `raptor-config --libs` to the Makefile
3. make && make install

I still have an error when I'm trying to load the module, but I think
it's because I've messed up my installation and I've mixed to many
files ;)

I will now cleanup my installation and try to make a clean install.
After that, I will came back to the mailing list in order to see how
it can be integrated to the trunk in order to make the life of other
Leopard users easier.

Thanks for your help.
