Hi Yuri,
Thank you for your reply.
/usr/local prefix is correct and is what I want but the python stuff should
go under /usr/local/python_${VERSION}/dist-packages not
/usr/local/python_${VERSION}/site-packages
/usr/local/python_${VERSION}/dist-packages is for the python modules not
provided by the distribution but which are built for the python interpreter
of the distribution.
If there is a configure option to specify this, I would be happy to learn
it, but it is not --prefix.
Thank you,
