[Samba] [PATCH] Force python for Samba on platforms with a too old installed python (eg RHEL 5.9)

[Phil Quesinberry]

Hi Andrew,

Many, many thanks and sorry about that... I was somewhat lost while writing
the post myself, I was trying to distill all of the different things I had
tried down into useful information but I somehow missed the mark.

After I had posted the message, I manually did a configure of Samba's
private copy of Python and then did a make uninstall to let it do some
housecleaning.  After doing that, I was then able to compile Samba
successfully without passing any flags but I'm still getting a libgnutls
error when attempting to execute pdbedit and the same error as before with
samba-tool.

I pulled down and applied your patch against master but it didn't seem to
have any effect.  I did another build with the install_with_python script
but am still getting the same errors:

[root at Server1 samba4]# pdbedit
pdbedit: error while loading shared libraries: libgnutls.so.26: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
[root at Server1 samba4]# samba-tool
