Setup/install issues including site.py

[Matthew Fowler]

Hello there

Im trying to port Python 2.4.3 to the Etrax platform, things have been
working but im having some issues I dont get.

if I issue #python I get ...

Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]

(i do get the interpreter prompt)

so I set PYTHONHOME
#export PYTHONHOME=/mnt/flash/Python/lib:/mnt/flash/Python/bin

run python again

#python

and then get this error message:

'import site' failed; use -v for traceback

So you see I get one error or the other.

btw site.py is located in the PATH of the above export and also in the
location of the python binary.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated

Matt
