This looks like the problem where make install puts the python files in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages when in Debian they actually need to go into /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages . I use Checkinstall to build local Debian packages, and pack the files into a new Debian package with that directory manually renamed. In a make-install run you can simply move them to the correct directory

stephenboston commented 6 years ago

Yes. It is /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Mozo to /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Mozo

You missed the "local" but after checking the make file I could see where the Mozo directory was supposed to go.

Thanks.

All is well

I always configure with --prefix=/usr because I am building Debian packages, thus I am not installing to /usr/local. Same situation either way though

Ah! Good to know. I've just started using Debian after years with Ubuntu so I expect I'll hit a few of these.

Thanks for the tip.
