on linux, usually *all* library files are stored in dedicated directories like /lib /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib you can then acces the lib just by 'nameofFile'. example: if you have '/usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.3.4' installed, you only need to tell the compiler to use the library 'qt-mt'. You can create a seperate lib directory for your project, but you probably need to set some environment variables for that. I believe pyrex is your friend when dealing with C libraries in python. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
