Are you trying to make PyPy multilib?

We're symlinking pypy3 -> pypy3-c-7.3.7 and it doesn't break anything, in case that helps. > 4) The /usr/bin/libpypy3-c.so file is *not* namespaced and seems misplaced > > This is the one thing I cannot wrap my head around.

No, please don't, that would mean Gentoo would use its edge over Fedora ;-). -- Best regards, Michał Górny _______________________________________________ pypy-dev mailing list pypy-dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
