Obviously, the flags you specified didn't have the effect you intended.

  --prefix=$HOME

should do the trick.

On Saturday 21 August 2010, it occurred to aj to exclaim:

Sorry, that feature slipped my mind.

So, are you running
$ make install DESTDIR=/home/foo/bar

or are you trying to directly run setup.py? I just tried and use make worked
for me. (though I was in a Python 3.2 dev source tree, not 2.6 -- maybe this
was a bug that has been fixed?)

So what is the point of your messages? Do you want to report a problem?
Are you asking for help? Do you want to vent frustration?

Regards,
Martin

Ok. Please try the patch below.

If this works, please make a bug report.

If you have / as the prefix, you get two leading slashes, e.g. for
//lib/python2.x. Any other prefix would have given you only a single
slash: e.g. if it had been /usr, then you end up with /usr/lib/python2.x.

Now, the code strips the first character to make it a relative path name
(so that join can be used), which fails to work correctly if there are
two leading slashes.

HTH,
Martin
