Public bug reported:
Building the "Enthought Tools Suite" componenent "Enable" fails on
Ubuntu 11.10 (and possibly older ones) because
numpy.distutils.system_info is unable to find the X11-library. The
problem might generally hit any python source that relies on numpy's
distutils to locate binary libraries for them.
I was able to solve it by using a custom "site.cfg" file, it could also
be solved just as well by updating the default paths directly in
numpy/distutils/system_info.py.
Note that in fact I was in fact using a custom built version of the
python-numpy package. This was to in order to gain support of a custom built
optimised ATLAS. For that I took the exact package sources via "apt-get source
atlas python-numpy", built a custom atlas using "debian/rule custom" and then
standard python-numpy using a modified site.cfg in order to include ATLAS.
Therefore, I never tried to build ETS Enable without any site.cfg. However,
upon inspection of the source-code of
numpy.distutils.system_info, I am quite confident that also without any
site.cfg, the mutli-arch library directories are not found.
