Thanks Paul

Looking again at the change it seems to have removed the explicit
check for libpython{ver}.so in /usr/lib64/ which I think is why it
fails for me.

FYI

python-config --ldflags

outputs the following on Fedora 18 64 bit:

-lpthread -ldl -lutil -lm -lpython2.7 -Xlinker -export-dynamic

python-config --ldflags|sed 's/-L//'|awk '{print $1}'

returns only:

-lpthread

HTH
