Re: [Distutils] setuptools error when using --prefix option, complains directory does not exist

Hari, I think this works if you use "--root=/" along with "--prefix=foo". So, if you wanted to install in, for example, "/Library/MyPackage/", you'd say, "--root=/ --prefix=/Library/MyPackage". I think this is better than using "--install-dir", because it handles platform issues like "lib" vs "lib64" on Red Hat. Bill
