Description
The explanations here
https://code.cor-lab.org/projects/rsb/wiki/InstallationPython
say that
export PYTHONPATH=$prefix/lib/python2.X/site-packages
Which looks like the path in Windows systems. In Ubuntu systems it looks to be /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/
Note dist vs. site

I don't get the problem. For me setuptools always proposes site-packages. Are you installing with prefix=/usr?
#2 Updated by J. Wienke over 12 years ago
Ah ok, so for packages provided by the linux distribution it is dist-packages. All user locations (so not /usr or /usr/local) are site-packages. It's a detail of python and setuptools.
