So we could do the following. The /usr/lib/python2.0 stuff comes only with spython The /usr/lib/python2.0/config stuff that is required for linking against python comes only with python. This whould resolve all overlappings and you are allways sure you link with the correct python config. achim~ > Pete > > _______________________________________________ > gentoo-dev mailing list > gentoo-dev@gentoo.org > http://www.gentoo.org/mailman/listinfo/gentoo-dev
