I do not have the standard python packagesite path , generally when i install python modules i just use python configure --prefix=/usr/lib64/python2.4/
and it works
with imgSeek its not, there only seems to be setup.py
so i tried
Code:
allix@allix:/mnt/allix/imgSeek-0.8.6$ python setup.py --prefix=/usr/lib64/python2.4/

Please help development by reporting this bug to "imgseek-devel@lists.sourceforge.net".
You have to become root before installing imgSeek. (type "su" and then enter your root password)
imgSeek install complete.
Run it with "imgSeek"
i have tried looking in setup.py and cannot see anything relating to changing the package destination
