[Nexus-developers] 4.0rc2

[Akeroyd, FA (Freddie)]

Actually, we could support both by testing whether the --with argument
is a directory or executable file. Does that sound best?

For python, I wasn't sure what a user would expect to type most
naturally. In the past we have given the directory root to --with so you
would type

  ./configure --with-python=/usr/local

For python installed in /usr/local/{bin,include} etc.

Looking on the web, it seemed that 

  ./configure --with-python=/usr/local/bin/python

was more the norm; however that currently means we have both methods
present amongst our bindings configuration. Which do people feel would
be the most logical/natural to use across them all?

Sorry, this did the trick. It even is documented. O just got confused by

the fact that for other
swig targets it says installation directory whena doing a ./configure  
--help, for instance  for Tcl.
I noticed that the same as for python worked for tcl too. Is this the 
new way to do this?
