Thanks :-). > Only the /usr/lib/python2.x files differ between 32-bit and 64-bit > (the configuration files are in /usr/lib/python2.x/config). Hmm, right. I tried to modify the installation path (using --libdir in ./configure) to /usr/lib64, but some *.pyo objects still are installed under /usr/lib. AFAIK, these objects are bitness-dependent (i.e., if they were generated by a 32-bit Python, they can only be execute by a 32-bit Python - and vice-versa), right? Is there any way to separate these arch-dependent files in /usr/lib and /usr/lib64 depending on their bitness? Thanks, P.S.: I think this "misbehaviour" of --libdir is a bug. IMHO, it should put every arch-dependent file in the path that the user provided. -- Sérgio Durigan Júnior Linux on Power Toolchain - Software Engineer Linux Technology Center - LTC IBM Brazil _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
