Ned Deily added the comment: rdm notes in duplicate Issue6138:
There is a bug here, of some sort. Either the .pydistutils.cfg file's install clause should override the default --prefix somehow, or the error message should indicate where the setting for 'home' and '--prefix' came from to enable the user to debug the configuration. In the latter case there would also need to be a way to explicitly tell either make install or configure to ignore .pydistutils.cfg. In the former case, an explicit --prefix passed to configure would need to override .pydistutils.cfg. ---------- nosy: +ned.deily, r.david.murray -BreamoreBoy versions: +Python 3.3, Python 3.4 -Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4655> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
