Description Vedran Miletić 2011-12-29 11:00:27 UTC

On Fedora x86_64 ./waf install should install python2.7 in lib64 instead of lib. IMHO, it would be best if this uses --libdir=... setting as it is used for libns3-*.so files.

Some additional information is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python

Comment 2 Gustavo J. A. M. Carneiro 2012-01-04 13:31:29 UTC

This "should" be fixed in ns-3-dev.  Please check.

Comment 3 Vedran Miletić 2012-01-04 14:45:06 UTC

Congratulations, almost perfect.

./waf configure --prefix=~/whatever

and

./waf configure --prefix=~/whatever --libdir=~/whatever/lib64

both result in:

$ ls ~/whatever/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ns/
__init__.py

$ ls ~/whatever/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/ns/

And if I recall correctly, this file gets installed even with --disable-python.

This should not happen, looking at the code.

The ns/__init__.py problem should be fixed, though I don't have a system to test.

It doesn't, I just checked. That was an issue with waf 1.5; it seems that you fixed it during upgrade to 1.6.

It is. Thanks.
