[issue6138] './configure; make install' fails in setup.py step if .pydistutils.cfg specifies 'home'
R. David Murray rdmur...@bitdance.com added the comment: I figured it out. It turns out that a while back I created a .pydistutils.cfg file and put home in there. 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. Or perhaps there's some other solution I'm not seeing at the moment. -- title: ./configure; make install fails in setup.py step - './configure; make install' fails in setup.py step if .pydistutils.cfg specifies 'home' ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6138 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
