Hi

I just tried compiling Numeric-23.0 with latest python-2.2.2-6 and got 
the following error:

/bin/python setup.py build

Running the same build with my own compiled python 2.1a2 I get

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So why does the latest python only uses -L. instead of 
-L/lib/python2.2/config  ?

Does anybody confirm this finding ?
