I remember having problems with bsddb, which I think were fixed. -Wl,-R/sw/lib is clearly wrong on MacOS X though. Deleting it and running the link command manually works.

The -R flag in not supported on all systems. 2.2.2b1 build is broken on SCO Open Server now too.

The flags are incorrect:

... building 'bsddb' extension _gcc -bundle -bundleloader python.exe _ _build/temp.darwin-6.1-Power\ Macintosh-2.3/bsddbmodule.o _ _-L/sw/lib -L/home/skip/local/lib -L/sw/lib -L/usr/local/lib _ _-Wl,-R/sw/lib -ldb-4.1 _ -o build/lib.darwin-6.1-Power\ Macintosh-2.3/bsddb.so ld: unknown flag: -R/sw/lib ... Skip
