[Getfem-users] Small issue installing on RHEL6.3

[Torquil Macdonald Sørensen]

Hi!

Just thought I'd mention a small issue that appeared when I installed
getfem on RHEL6.3 (Redhat Enterprise Linux 6.3), in case it is not
already known:

I did:

$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr/stow/getfem --enable-shared
--with-pic --enable-python
$ make
$ make install

There was a small problem with the python-related files. It installed the files

getfem.py  getfem.pyc  getfem.pyo  __init__.py  __init__.pyc  __init_

to the directory

~/usr/stow/getfem/lib/python2.6/site-packages/getfem

But it installed

 _getfem.so

to the directory

~/usr/stow/getfem/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/getfem

To fix it, I simply moved everything to the latter directory, since
that is the one I have in my $PYTHONPATH, and now it works fine. But
the python-related files shouldn't have been split up like that,
right?

I will mention that the other python packages (numpy, scipy,
matplotlib) I have installed to my home directory have automatically
landed in

~/usr/stow/<name>/lib64/python2.6/site-packages

where the installation procedure in those cases have been:

$ python setup.py build
$ python setup.py install --prefix=$HOME/usr/stow/<name>

where <name> was (numpy | scipy | matplotlib). So the default
behaviour seems to be to use the "lib64" subdirectory.
