The server I'm rebuilding was built by s= omeone else. That person spent a lot of time developing a certain s/w packa= ge that I haven't had time to study enough to claim any expertise. So, I ne= ed to rebuild similar to how he built. However, he didn't understand FBSD's= port system. He built everything from source...including python. He has so= me links in his s/w to the python dirs he built. I can easily put symlinks = where his links are and build from ports...obviously my preference. However= , I can't figure out *where* the ports build! That is, in a standard built-= from-source python, one enters the dir, issues an "ls" and sees dirs like "= lib", "etc", etc. Where are these dirs in a built-from-port python?=0ATIA,= =0ADrew=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A =0A_________________________________________________= ___________________________________=0ABored stiff?
