[pylucene-dev] Question about installing PyLucene onto amd64

[Micah Vivion]

Greetings,

Thank you for your help. It looks like things worked. A couple of  
things to note:

On my install I didn't have bison installed - during the compile of  
gcc-4.2.0 gcj the build scripts gave me an warning that bison wasn't  
installed then a short time later the build script was not able to  
build some of the necessary gcj components. After I did an apt-get  
install bison and recompiled everything worked fine.

My default install of Ubuntu 7.04 did not have the directory of /usr/ 
local/lib64 created - thus I got errors when trying to run the  
PyLucene 'make install' command. I create the directory of /usr/local/ 
lib64 and reran 'make install' for PyLucene and everything looks like  
it worked.

I am using Python 2.5.1 - one question I have is the directories of / 
usr/lib/python2.5 and /usr/lib64/python2.5 - what directory should  
PyLucene.py and _PyLucene.so go into - /usr/lib/python2.5/site- 
packages or /usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages?

Is there a place I can upload my compiled binaries to so that others  
may use them?

Thanks,

Micah
