Or did I misunderstand the problem? Also, are there some automated tests we should be adding to catch this kind of problem? I'm a little worried none of our testing caught this. Cheers, Richard I would agree that since the original patch has not been accepted upstream, it would make the most sense to just regenerate it. In addition, there are a couple of other places in getpath.c that have a hard coded "lib/". Have you verified those are correct as is? (I.e., ~line 706 'L:lib/pyhton00.zip"' and ~line 718 'L"lib/lib-dynload"'. Seems like the second case should use code similar other palces lib-dynload is used in the file that uses lib_python to build the path.) -Bill
