pymol: IOError: could not find any of ['glut', 'freeglut']

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Hello, I find that I am unable to even begin building pymol because it cannot find glut or freeglut:

DEBUG: Assembled command: 'cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_rschmidt_macports_dports_science_pymol/pymol/work/pymol" && /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7 setup.py --no-user-cfg install --prefix=/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7 --root=/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_rschmidt_macports_dports_science_pymol/pymol/work/destroot'

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 239, in <module>

  File "setup.py", line 64, in posix_find_lib
    raise IOError('could not find any of ' + str(names))
IOError: could not find any of ['glut', 'freeglut']

freeglut is installed and it provides the glut library:

$ port -v installed name:glut
The following ports are currently installed:
  freeglut @2.8.1_0+universal (active) platform='darwin 14' archs='i386 x86_64'
$ port contents freeglut | grep dylib
  /opt/local/lib/libglut.3.dylib
  /opt/local/lib/libglut.dylib

I would be nice to know what commands setup.py is running to determine the existence of these libraries.

If I understand the code in setup.py correctly, the below should be equivalent to what setup.py is running, but it correctly detects freeglut's glut library:

$ echo 'int main(){}' | gcc -o /dev/null -x c - -L/opt/local/lib -lglut ; echo $?
0
$ echo 'int main(){}' | gcc -o /dev/null -x c - -L/opt/local/lib -lfreeglut ; echo $?
ld: library not found for -lfreeglut
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
1

I'm no longer able to reproduce this failure. Not sure what fixed it.
