Ok. One solution might be to remove the libdir option, then. Python attempts to be "movable", i.e. the libraries are found relative to the executable (via dirname(sys.executable)+"../lib/..."). If libdir is supported, this approach must be given up - or libdir must be given up. >> The x86_64 community has been using Python for a while, and >> apparently has solved this problem already.

No, it should show up automatically. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
