New submission from Andreas K. Hüttel :
Hi. I have been trying to install Python on a (well prototype of a) risc-v
multilib Gentoo system, where the system library directory is /usr/lib64/lp64d
(!).
See as reference for the directories
https://www.sifive.com/blog/all-aboard-part-5-risc-v-multilib
Python as is builds and installs fine but the results are pretty much
unuseable. Symptoms are "/usr/lib64/lib64/lp64d/python3.6/site-packages"
directory name and distutils installs unable to find Python.h (it is correctly
installed in /usr/include/..., but distutils passes /usr/lib64/include as
include path).
I've tracked this down to bad values in sys.base_prefix and sys.exec_prefix:
>>> sys.base_prefix
'/usr/lib/python-exec/python3.6/../../../lib64'
Even if I set PYTHONHOME=/usr , I get '/usr/lib64'
The fix, specific for this directory layout, is to have one more directory
component stripped in Modules/getpath.c , see patch below.
With this I have been able to install Python with a normal-looking directory
layout, and distutils things install fine.
Posting this here so it gets your attention, and hoping that you're better in
coming up with a general solution than I am... probably the number of
components stripped should depend on the number of slashes in the library path,
e.g., "lib" versus "lib64/lp64d"
