Comment 4 for bug 674231

My problem might be closely related. In /usr/lib/python2.6/distutils/distutils.cfg, there are the following lines:

[install]
prefix=/usr/local

as a way so all further (non-bundled) Python installations go into /usr/local instead of /usr. The installed /usr/local/bin/openerp-client has:

cd /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/openerp-client

I changed it to be:

cd /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/openerp-client

I guess we do not argue on the fact that "/local" was missing. About whether "site-packages" or "dist-packages" is to be preferred, I've no strong opinion, yet whatever gets used, should work.

Also, the generated ~/.openerprc got the following lines:

pixmaps = /usr/share/pixmaps/openerp-client
share = /usr/share/openerp-client

which I need to change so they read:

pixmaps = /usr/local/share/pixmaps/openerp-client
share = /usr/local/share/openerp-client

Thanks for listening. François.
