copy the contents of the $BUILD_DEST and put them on the hard drive for my IA32

IA32 system. Python seems to run correctly when I run it, but when I do things
like “import pysqlite”, it cannot find it. Is there anything
special I have to do to relocate my python (since on my IA32 system it runs
from /usr/bin/python but it originally gets created in
${BUILD_DEST}/usr/bin/python)?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
