Summary: Python-2.2a1 build dies

Initial Comment:
after doing:

./configure --prefix=$HOME/local/STOW
make

the build bombs in the install phase with:

usr/bin/install -c ./install-sh
/home/mahler/local/STOW/Python-2.2a1/lib/python2.2/config/install-sh
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./Misc/Makefile.pre.in
/home/mahler/local/STOW/Python-2.2a1/lib/python2.2/config/Makefile.pre.in
PYTHONPATH= ./python ./setup.py install \

--install-platlib=/home/mahler/local/STOW/Python-2.2a1/lib/python2.2/lib-dynload
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./setup.py", line 6, in ?

Yes, I made a boo boo:
--prefix=$HOME/local/STOW/Python-2.2a1
$PYTHONHOME is $HOME/local
since I use stow to manage all my dowloaded software in
$HOME/local.
This has always worked in the past.
I have a script which automactes the whole
untar, configure,make, install process to stop me making 
errors like the above.
The problem appears to be that last command:
PYTHONPATH= ./python ./setup.py install  ...
sets the $PYTHONPATH to be empty and the newly built image
does not know that the libraries are in the Lib directory
just below it.
doing
PYTHONPATH=./Lib ./python ./setup.py install
--install-platlib=/home/mahler/local/STOW/Python-2.2a1/lib/python2.2/lib-dynload
does not crash but produces a whole bunch of warnings like:

building 'zlib' extension

I can't reproduce this; configuring with a prefix works
fine.

Your story seems inconsistent: you say you configured with
prefix $HOME/local/STOW, but the output you cite looks like
it was configured with prefix $HOME/local/STOW/Python-2.2a1.

What platform?  What's $PYTHONHOME?

Try adding -v to the python invocation that fails to see the
failure traceback.
