... Under the posix section, distutils assumes that Python is installed in /usr/lib/python-X.X, where it's really in /usr/lib64/python-X.X. This is clearly a distutils bug. Distutils should be looking under lib64 for 64-bit x86 systems.
All linux x86-64 distributions use lib64 instead of lib for 64 bit libraries.
Just as note: distutils should read this from the Makefile rather than trying to guess - whether or not lib64 is used depends on the distribution, the way the particular Python version was installed, etc. (e.g. a user installed Python version will still install to /usr/lib per default - even on 64-bit platforms). -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Apr 15 2005)
