[Community] Rtree 0.5 libsidx.so import error

[Nino Walker]

Hi all,

Thanks for the new 0.5 release.  I found, running for the first time on Debian/Py2.6, the new release fails to find libsidx.so; e.g.:

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Rtree-0.5.0-py2.6-linux-i686.egg/rtree/core.py", line 97, in <module>
    rt = ctypes.CDLL(lib_name)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/ctypes/__init__.py", line 353, in __init__
    self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
OSError: libsidx.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


I solved this with the following, which is less than optimal:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Rtree-0.5.0-py2.6-linux-i686.egg

Thoughts?

Cheers,

Nino
