Should have been "/usr/local/lib/python2.4".

No, it's just the way most Linux distro's tweak the Python
setup to support 64-bit along side with 32-bit ones (which
then usually live in /usr/lib et al).
You often have problems with this choice if you want to
build things from source on x86-64. In most cases, you
need to set LDFLAGS to -L/usr/lib64 or edit Makefiles.
to adjust the compiler settings.
