From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041109 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: Python's distutils package reports the incorrect path for the location of the usable python packages. On x86_64 the location of these files is /usr/lib64/python2.2 however Python itself reports that its files should be in /usr/lib/python2.2. Note: I am not a Python developer so I may be using terms incorrectly. I ran into the problem while trying to build PostgreSQL 7.4.6. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python-2.2.3-6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: $ python Python 2.2.3 (#1, Oct 26 2004, 17:14:26) [GCC 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-47)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from distutils import sysconfig >>> print sysconfig.get_config_vars('LIBDEST') Actual Results: ['/usr/lib/python2.2'] Expected Results: ['/usr/lib64/python2.2'] Additional info: The compilation of PostgreSQL fails because it cannot find the proper location for the files it needs to build the python interface/bindings.
