Hi,
I'm using Python on a hp-unix machine. This is what I get when I type
python
at the prompt (I added it to my path already).
$python
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
Python 1.5.2 (#1, Jan 3 2000, 15:54:36) [GCC 2.95.2 19991024
(release)] on hp-uxB
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
>>>
The python directory is under /usr/local/. I found a directory
/usr/local/python-1.5.2/lib/python1.5/plat-hp-uxB. I'm guessing that
this is the directory for the platform dependent libraries. I tried
adding $PYTHONHOME=/usr/local to my .profile but it didn't make a
difference. Is there a root profile that I need to change?
Thanks for your help,
Matt
