I guess so. Where are you building? Why is sys.executable /usr/local/src/utils/Python-2/python? At least it looks like that's what's happened.

Yes, I'm building in /usr/local/src/utils/Python-2

Can you try (in your build directory) $ ./python ... >>> print sys.executable and see if that looks reasonable? .... tim@uw711 65% pwd /usr/local/src/utils/Python-2 tim@uw711 66% ./python Python 2.2.2 (#1, Nov 22 2002, 12:59:39) [C] on unixware7 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import sys print sys.executable /usr/local/src/utils/Python-2/python .... Cheers, M.
