Hi! I am doing a from source installation of Python 2.5 on some old Debian machine. As the target directoy I want /opt/somename so i added it to the configure like so:
./configure --prefix=/opt/somedir The following make works fine as far as I can see. Then the make install also actually works and installs python in /opt/somedir with all its subdirectoris (bin, lib, man, include). The extensions (*.so) however get put in /usr/local/lib/... and there also in the wrong python directoy: 2.4 This is a c/p of the make install output: [...] running build_scripts running install_lib changing mode of /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_struct.so to 755 changing mode of /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_ctypes.so to 755 [...] (How) can I change the install_dir for the extensions? Why does it use python2.4 anyway?! What env var or else is set here that I cannot find? thanks! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
