I built and installed Python 2.4 on 12/12/2007. Recently, I tried installing python-ldap-2.3.4. The error I received was: error: invalid Python installation: unable to open /usr/local/openSource/architectureIndependent:/usr/local/openSource/IRIX 6/lib/python2.4/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)
I figured out what I believe to be the origin of this string. When I ran configure to build/install Python, I used the following: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/openSource/architectureIndependent --exec-prefix=/usr/local/openSource/IRIX6 --enable-shared --without-gcc --with-cxx=CC Somewhere along the lines, the prefix and exec-prefix strings were joined with a ':'. I just went searching around, and found that sys.prefix = '', and sys.exec_prefix="/usr/local/openSource/architectureIndependent:/usr/loca l/openSource/IRIX6" In past posts, I've found people referring to needing to install python-devel, and I have no idea why installing an additional package would help the installation of other packages. Does anyone have any thoughts as to why I'm getting the error? How about thoughts on why the prefix and exec-prefix strings were joined? Thanks, -James
