module import issue when not using --prefix=/usr (eg. /usr/local)

[lainme]

I compiled rubber with

./configure
make
sudo make install

but found the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/rubber", line 3, in <module>
    from rubber.cmdline import Main
ImportError: No module named rubber.cmdline

I checked the bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/rubber/+bug/878623 and changed all the permissions but without lack.

After trying to install it into /usr, rubber works fine. The reason is /usr/loca/lib/pythonx.x/site-packages is not in the python search path. One solution is to set $PYTHONPATH manually, but it seems not a good idea if having multiple versions of python (e.g. 2.7 and 3.2)

I wounder whether this can be solved in the soruce code itself, by using the sys.path?

The install scripts for Rubber were recently rewritten completely. I'm closing this bug, since it applies to the old code.

Please have a try with the new release, and see if the problem is solved. If not, I'll look into it.
