Using python 1.5.2, from the freeware.sgi.com Nov 99
collection, on irix 6.5, gets:
% python
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
Python 1.5.2 (#1, Aug 26 1999, 00:12:37) [C] on irix6-n32
Python is in /usr/freeware/bin, various libs are in
/usr/freeware/lib and /usr/freeware/lib/python,
so prefix and exec_prefix would seem to be /usr/freeware.
Par however shows python looking under /usr/freeware/bin/lib
for some libraries.
Setting PYTHONHOME to various plausible values seems to make
no difference.
what's the cure?
