Check the Makefile you Python version has installed in lib/pythonX.X/config/Makefile
There is no /usr/lib/python2.3/config/Makefile. It is installed in /usr/lib64/python2.3/config/Makefile.
That file contains
# Expanded directories BINDIR= $(exec_prefix)/bin LIBDIR= $(exec_prefix)/lib64 MANDIR= /usr/share/man INCLUDEDIR= /usr/include CONFINCLUDEDIR= $(exec_prefix)/include SCRIPTDIR= $(prefix)/lib64

So it looks like distutils is looking in the wrong place.
If you look in sysconfig.py:
def get_python_lib(plat_specific=0, standard_lib=0, prefix=None):
"""Return the directory containing the Python library (standard or
site additions). If 'plat_specific' is true, return the directory containing
platform-specific modules, i.e. any module from a non-pure-Python
module distribution; otherwise, return the platform-shared library
directory. If 'standard_lib' is true, return the directory
containing standard Python library modules; otherwise, return the
directory for site-specific modules. If 'prefix' is supplied, use it instead of sys.prefix or
sys.exec_prefix -- i.e., ignore 'plat_specific'.
"""
if prefix is None:
prefix = plat_specific and EXEC_PREFIX or PREFIX if os.name == "posix":
libpython = os.path.join(prefix,
"lib", "python" + get_python_version())
if standard_lib:
return libpython
else:
return os.path.join(libpython, "site-packages") elif os.name == "nt":
if standard_lib:
return os.path.join(prefix, "Lib")
else:
if get_python_version() < "2.2":
return prefix
else:
return os.path.join(PREFIX, "Lib", "site-packages") elif os.name == "mac":
if plat_specific:

else:
return os.path.join(prefix, "Lib", "site-packages")
else:
if standard_lib:
return os.path.join(prefix, "Lib")
else:
return os.path.join(prefix, "Lib", "site-packages") elif os.name == "os2":
if standard_lib:
return os.path.join(PREFIX, "Lib")
else:
return os.path.join(PREFIX, "Lib", "site-packages") else:
raise DistutilsPlatformError(
"I don't know where Python installs its library "
"on platform '%s'" % os.name)Under the posix section, distutils assumes that Python is installed in /usr/lib/python-X.X, where it's really in /usr/lib64/python-X.X. This is clearly a distutils bug. Distutils should be looking under lib64 for 64-bit x86 systems.
All linux x86-64 distributions use lib64 instead of lib for 64 bit libraries. It looks like this code needs to be cleverer.
