If you have the config/ sub-dir in there, things should be fine. However, it's possible that you need to tweek the freeze.py script a little, since RedHat chose to split the Python installation on x64 in two parts and they may have missed patching freeze.py as well: The platform independent parts are in /usr/lib, whereas the platform dependent parts are in /usr/lib64. Python normally doesn't support this. It only has a prefix and an exec_prefix, but those only allow to do things like prefix=/usr and exec_prefix=/usr64, not changing the lib/ part in /usr/lib/. > Thanks. > > On Tue, Nov 3, 2009 at 11:32 AM, M.-A.
