Hi Guys,

Chunk, thanks for posting a work-around.

I *really* suggest that you guys sort this out properly and generate a
patch that fixes it.  Otherwise this kludge is going to get
propagated.  You really don't want to be copying files around by hand.
It definitely will lead to problems down the road.

I believe the problematic difference is between the definitions for
python script directory:

SuSE 9.3 Pro

checking for python... /usr/bin/python
checking for python version... 2.4
checking for python platform... linux2
checking for python script directory... ${prefix}/lib64/python2.4/site-packages
checking for python extension module directory... 
${exec_prefix}/lib64/python2.4/site-packages
checking for Python include path... /usr/include/python2.4
checking Python.h usability... yes
checking Python.h presence... yes
checking for Python.h... yes

FC5

checking for python... /usr/bin/python
checking for python version... 2.4
checking for python platform... linux2
checking for python script directory... ${prefix}/lib/python2.4/site-packages
checking for python extension module directory... 
${exec_prefix}/lib64/python2.4/site-packages
checking for Python include path... /usr/include/python2.4
checking Python.h usability... yes
checking Python.h presence... yes
checking for Python.h... yes


That answer is produced by the AM_PATH_PYTHON .m4 macro that is used
on the system.  You can find the definition being used by examing
gnuradio-core/aclocal.m4.

I'm not sure which of these is right, but that's where I'd start looking.

Good hunting!
