Hi Tarek,
I think clib stuff is installed in the right python directory and the
ext install step then just finds them.
To reproduce the issue, run
the old easy_install in a virtualenv.
easy_install ReportLab
It will then fail

Thank you, tarek
The sys.path should have been obvious.

The attached test works breaks without the patch and passes with the patch.
I am not sure whether the test itself is written following best practice.
I would be more than happy for a review, with hints what should be done
better
New submission from Patrick Gerken patrick.ger...@computer.org:
When running the command install_lib, the command build_clib is not run.
If a package contains clibs they can be dependencies for extension libs,
at least that is stated in the module docstring of build_clib.
In real life you can
