Python compilation error, "module search path"etc..
 

hello.
I have just attempted to install nicotine on my redhat9 machine. I have read the readme's, and am compiling the program using python. I compiled as root with no problems except for this last 'warning'.
----
warning: install: modules installed to '/home/mindfestival/nicotine//lib/python2.2/sit
e-packages/', which is not in Python's module search path (sys.path) -- you'll h
ave to change the search path yourself

---

Now, knowing this file as a warning and not an actual compilation error, i dissmissed it.
I then test nicotine from the source tree.

---

$ python ./nicotine
Nicotine supports "psyco", an inline optimizer for python
code, you can get it at http://sourceforge.net/projects/psyco/
Can not find Nicotine modules.
Perhaps they're installed in a directory which is not
in an interpreter's module search path.
(there could be a version mismatch between
what version of python was used to build the PySoulSeek
binary package and what you try to run PySoulSeek with.)
----

Is this something that must be configured for python, or for nicotine? The only file given for alteration was Pythons's module search sys.path. If this is the case then where can i locate this file, and find out my module search path, to point it to the nicotine install directory?

Thanks for giving up some time, believe me, its appreciated.
