setuptools doesn't seem to know about lib64 on Ubuntu
Hi. I'm trying to install setuptools on a Ubuntu 9.10 system (64-bit), in a custom location: % python setup.py install --install-layout=deb --prefix=/opt/uplib-1.7.9 running install Checking .pth file support in /opt/uplib-1.7.9/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/ error: can't create or remove files in install directory The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the installation directory: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/opt/uplib-1.7.9/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/test-easy-install-10270.pth' The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or the distutils default setting) was: /opt/uplib-1.7.9/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/ This directory does not currently exist. Please create it and try again, or choose a different installation directory (using the -d or --install-dir option). % The problem is that it should be looking at /opt/uplib-1.7.9/lib64/python2.6/dist-packages/ which *does* exist, and *is* on the PYTHONPATH. Is there some way I can force this via a commandline option? Bill
