I need to run some code on a Linux machine with Python 2.3.4
pre-installed. I'm not on the sudoers list
for that machine, so I
built Python 2.6.4 into (a subdirectory in) my home directory. Then I
attempted to use virtualenv (for the first time), but got:
$ Python-2.6.4/python virtualenv/virtualenv.py ENV
New python executable in ENV/bin/python
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]

Should I be setting PYTHONHOME to some value? (I intentionally named
my ENV "ENV"
for lack of a better name.)
Not knowing if I can ignore those errors, I tried installing nose
(0.11.1) into my ENV:
$ cd nose-0.11.1/
$ ls
AUTHORS doc/ lgpl.txt nose.egg-info/ selftest.py*
bin/ examples/ MANIFEST.in nosetests.1 setup.cfg

$ ~/ENV/bin/python setup.py install
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>

Any advice?
