delocate error with cfitsio on MacOS about multibuild HOT 3 CLOSED

You've bumped up against matthew-brett/delocate#26, which needs to be merged before you can expand the search path.

from multibuild.

@xoviat - can you say why think this is an LD_LIBRARY_PATH problem?

What I think should be happening is that cfitsio gets installed into the default BUILD_PREFIX, and then the LIBRARY_PATH variable, set in configure_build.sh, will make sure that the linker can find the library at build time. Then the full path to the library gets written into the Python .dylib modules, and delocate finds the library via this written path. But, it looks like what is happening is that the full path is not being written, but only the relative path, and so delocate does not find the library at this relative path.

Is it possible that pkg-config is messing up with this library in BUILD_PREFIX?

Yes, sure, feel free to do a multibuild PR for the cfitsio library build - thanks.

I don't think there's a way to download directly from travis - there are a variety of upload mechanisms available from travis, but here's the encrypted key, to add to .travis.yml, to get Rackspace upload working:

I tried to play with pkg-config but then realized that I could install cfitsio with brew, which works! And now I'm struggling to get tests work with matplotlib (not installed as a framework) but that's another issue. Thanks for the help and for the key!
