Bug Description

I am running an Ubuntu 10.04 64bit system, with Python 2.6.5 and ImageP 2.9.2.
After installing and sucessfully compiling the C sources, upon calling 'import ImageP' within Python, I would get the C sources not loaded message.

copying libCsources.so from:

/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/ImageP/libCsources.so
to:
/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/ImageP/libCsources.so

fixed the problem and now the Csources are working correctly

Thanks for reporting. I have to test this further, I could not yeat reproduce the bug.

Normally, when running python setup.py install one should see a message indicating the copying of the libCsources.so.

The suggested fix: copying by hand always helps, but on Linux it should not be necessary.

O.k., confirmed.
The actual Ubuntu has split packages to /usr/loca/lib/python..../dist-packages and the original place in /usr/lib/...

Now, the distutils.sysconfig... returns the latter, while other parts are put to the former. I am working on a fix.

So, there is a 'not nice' but working fix, which takes the path name from an empty distribution object. This seems to work on our Ubuntu box and also tested fine on a standard Gentoo Linux (both running python 2.6).
