I found out that ".so" is the correct extension on Mac after all.
Had some confusing results here.

These problems disappeared for me when I switched from XCode 1.1

--with-extra-* options are nicer than environment variables, though.
I'm not sure if these configure options work as  advertised for Scribus.
