It is difficult to tell what the problem you encountered here is without more information. Python is supported on many different platforms and regularly built with --prefix being set. To investigate further, you would need to indicate exactly which version of Python, which version of which operating system platform, and the exact configure and make commands you are using. Nevertheless, because you seem to be doing a shared (--enable-shared) build with a prefix of /usr, I speculate you *might* be running into the issue documented, and recently fixed, in bpo-21166. You could try removing --enable-shared, or you could try applying the change from that issue, or you could try working around simulating the patch's effect by creating a dummy pybuilddir.txt before running make.

Found problem. After generating Makefile if comment string, contain LD_CONFIG_PATH all build success. Operating system Gentooo, python version 2.7.8 from ebuild and downloaded from origin site.

What also information do you need?

[ned-deily]

Sorry, I don't see where you have shown exactly what Python ./configure and make commands you are using and it is not at all obvious to me what you mean by "After generating Makefile if comment string, contain LD_CONFIG_PATH all build success". But, if it is the case that you are using Gentoo tools to build ("python version 2.7.8 from ebuild") then perhaps you should be asking on a Gentoo forum as we have no control or specific knowledge of how Gentoo packages things. If you can show exactly how a Python build fails using an unpacked Python source package, the Python's ./configure and make, then we can investigate. In other words, we would need to see the exact sequence of the exact commands you use. There are just too many variables to try to guess what you might be seeing (other than my original speculation about bpo-21166). Did you try the recommendations above in msg227011?

Since there has been no followup to this issue, I'm going to close it. Feel free to reopen if you can document a reproducible problem with a Python source release.
