I checked and ls /usr/lib64/python2.4/config/ returns config.c config.c.in install-sh libpython2.4.a Makefile makesetup python.o Setup Setup.config Setup.local
so I am guessing the python-devel installation went off OK, from what you say. I looked at the freeze.py code and I see your point. But for tweaking, I would need to know what modules should get included from lib64 instead of lib and hardcode them .... Maybe tinkering around with the makefile which is produced by freeze is a better way to go? But since I need to freeze this python code by today, can you suggest any other tool to do this? Thanks.
