Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.3 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Thomas Richter (thorfdbg) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: wrong location for math lib with --prefix Initial Comment: If python2.3 or 2.4 get configured with --prefix, the math libraries (and other binary libraries) are check for in the wrong location. Specifically, the prefix will be will be used twice, giving the wrong path for the binary object. How to reproduce: Configure python with ./configure --prefix=/foo ;or whatever, make make install This will place libraries etc. correctly in /foo/lib/python2.4. Afterwards, setup pythonpath accordingly export PYTHONPATH="/foo/lib/python2.4:/foo/lib/python2.4/site-packages" If you start then python, try >> import math The result will be that pyhon will not find the math module. Debugging with strace reveals that python checks for binary libraries now in /foo/lib/python2.4/lib/python2.4 instead of /foo/lib/python2.4 Setting a softlink in the lib directory works around this and brings python back to working. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Terry J.

If this were general to all *nix type systems, I would expect it to have already been caught and fixed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1205736&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
