install problem x86_64 wrong path

[Ferdinand]

I had to change
/usr/bin/openerp-client

to run on x86_64

- cd /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/openerp-client
+ cd /usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/openerp-client

IMHO the "setup.py build" should detect x86_64 automatically and create correct scripts

[Stephane Wirtel (OpenERP) (stephane-openerp)]

I have a x86_64 and I tested with a very small setup.py, the setuptools does not install the script to /usr/lib64 but only to /usr/lib.

[Ferdinand (office-chricar)]

Hmm!
Isn't this what I reported?

[Stephane Wirtel (OpenERP) (stephane-openerp)]

yes, but I wanted to know why not in /usr/lib64, but now I think it is specific to setuptools ( the composent used in the setup.py file ).

But your bug is interesting because if you want to test OpenERP in your home directory, for example $HOME/local, the script was not right. I will fix that as soon as possible.

resurrected in trunk revno 997

[tfr (Openerp) (tfr)]

should be fix in lp:~tfr/openobject-client/tfr-packaging, but anyway i've also a x86_64 system and everything is installed in /usr/lib

[Ferdinand (office-chricar)]

@tfr "everything is installed in /usr/lib"
this is interesting - OpenSuSE provides separate python version for x86 and x86_64 installed in /usr/lib and /usr/lib64

Can't be..

The rule, in short is that python packages that don't contain platform specific
files go to /usr/lib/python2.x, while python packages that also contain
binaries (libxx.so etc. ) go to /usr/lib64/python2.x

It might be that /usr/lib/python2.5 and /usr/lib/python2.6 co-exist in such a
Linux distribution, but this is another issue. We only want to support the
version which has most packages available (usually 2.6, the other is just
there for compatibility).
