Check the Makefile you Python version has installed in

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

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())
This is the problem line ^^^^^^^
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:
if standard_lib:
return os.path.join(prefix, "Lib", "lib-dynload")
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.
Patches are welcome :-)
