[issue36758] configured libdir not correctly passed to Python executable

Fri May 3 15:34:02 EDT 2019

Xavier de Gaye <xdegaye at gmail.com> added the comment:

I can reproduce the problem.

The Makefile uses LIBDIR as set by configure to install the libraries and this is not consistent with Modules/getpath.c that finds the locations of the libraries (see the detailed comments at the top of the source file) without searching for LIBDIR.

The work around is to use PYTHONHOME.
Michael is right and ./configure should at least issue a warning when --libdir is used.
