Johannes S. added the comment: Maybe my last comment was not clear enogth. I used the tarballs from 3.5 and 3.6 which are linked in my last comment. I extracted them and run the the following commands on Arch (64 Bit) and Linux SuSE 13.1 (64 Bit):
mkdir build cd build ../configure --prefix=/some/dir make make install The path `/some/dir` is a placeholder. The path did not exist before running this commands. After running them on Linux SuSE, I discovered that `libpython3.5m.a`, `pkgconfig/` and `python3.5/lib-dynload` was placed in `/some/dir/lib64` instead of `/some/dir/lib`. On Arch, everything is placed in `/some/dir/lib` but I have the same behavior if I add `--libdir=/some/dir/lib64` to `configure`. With other words: `--libdir` seems to have a default value of "EPREFIX/lib64" instead of "EPREFIX/lib" on my instance of Linux SuSE. Maybe `configure` uses some global configurations here? The problem is, that `sys.path` does point to `/some/dir/lib/lib-dynload` in all cases described above. Since `python3.5/lib-dynload` may be placed in `lib64`, this may cause that python does not run properly after installing it. (Unfortunately, I cannot say much about the configuration of "my instance of Linux SuSE" since I am not the person who set it up. It is a server of my university.) ---------- status: pending -> open _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26971> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
