PIP install on Mac OS X about python-gphoto2

[jim-easterbrook]

Does the output of the command pkg-config --libs-only-l libgphoto2 include -lexif? If so, this confirms that the libexif is required by any program that uses libgphoto2, so it should have been installed automatically when you installed libgphoto2. Try installing libexif directly before installing python-gphoto2.

Yes this is the output
-lgphoto2 -lm -lgphoto2_port -lm -lexif
I installed libexif over Macport and its the same error

Unfortunately I don't know much about MacOS X.
libexif is installed but the python-gphoto2 linking isn't finding it, suggesting it isn't in a "standard" location (if MacOS X has such a thing). On my Linux boxes it's in /usr/lib64/ so the link has no trouble finding it.
Does the output of pkg-config --libs-only-L libgphoto2 show anything? (On my Linux boxes it's blank.)

Are you able to download the tar.gz (or zip) file from PyPI and edit setup.py? If so, can you try changing the line
libraries = list(map(lambda x: x.replace('-l', ''), gphoto2_libs))
to
libraries = ['gphoto2']
before running python setup.py build and sudo python setup.py install. If that works then it appears I needn't bother using pkg-config to get the list of libraries to link with.

Can you try release 0.11.1 - I've added a 'library_dirs' parameter to the compilation that might help.

Thank you
Now it works
