[csw-maintainers] python library directory

[Romeo Theriault]

Hi Ben, thanks for the follow up. I started by trying to rebuild the
pyzmq (zeromq) module and am running into this error:

running build_ext
error: invalid Python installation: unable to open
/opt/csw/lib/python/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)
gmake[1]: *** [build-work/solaris9-sparc/build-isa-sparcv8/pyzmq-2.2.0/setup.py]
Error 1


This is after running a 'mgar platforms' upon which time mgar ssh's
into experimental9s and 9x to build the module. As you know the
Makefile is now in the python2.6 directory instead of python dir. But
I checked on experimental9s and there is no config dir in either
"python" or the "python26" directory.

Do you have any advice on how to proceed here?

Thanks,
Romeo
