[issue26439] ctypes.util.find_library fails when ldconfig/glibc not available (e.g., AIX)

[Michael Felt]

Michael Felt added the comment:

The patch works when installed on top of pre-compiled version (e.g., copy the two files to /opt/lib/python2.7/ctypes/

but there seems to be a nasty side-effect when trying to build.

make completes, but make install fails during a compile step.

Please assist with howto see how/why ctypes/util is impacting this part.

And - for my first adventure into python please provide the needed (expected) feedback.

Michael

make install DESTDIR=/var/aixtools/aixtools/python/2.7.11.2 > .buildaix/install.out

So, zipfile.py seems to exit non-zero. :(
