Homebrew - pyexif2 - clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1

Question

I installed homebrew and brew doctor complained that my path /user/local/bin wasn't above /usr/bin, so I corrected this and then tried to install exiv2 and pyexiv2 using the following command:

brew install exiv2 pyexiv2

I then get the following error:

bubbles-MacBook-Pro:Desktop bubble$ brew install exiv2 pyexiv2

Any ideas? I really need pyexiv2 to work on this macbook.

I found this helpful.

I just used brew to install the dependancies.

brew install scons boost exiv2

Then installed pyexiv2 from source with some tomfoolery. I downloaded the latest tarball, exported it and cd'ed into it from terminal.

cd pyexiv2-0.3.2
echo "env['FRAMEWORKS'] += ['Python']" >> src/SConscript
scons BOOSTLIB=boost_python-mt
sudo scons BOOSTLIB=boost_python-mt install
