Hi y'all,

I'm trying to perform a local install of python at work in my user directory. Everything compiles correctly, but I can't seem to tell the configure script the location of the bin and lib directories where I want my stuff. I've think I've passed the correct flags to the 'configure' script.

make clean
./configure --enable-shared --prefix=/user/mcdaniel/arch32
make

where arch32 contains the the lib and bin directories where I want my python stuff to go. Unfortunately these directories are not written to; everything ends up in the default location from where I ran 'make'. Moreover, if I add a symbolic link from the python binary (which I can run directly without problems) to the bin directory so that my PATH will recognize the new python, I get an error about loading shared libraries.

I'm making on a 32 bit new debian system.

Thank you for your help,

Sean McDaniel
