Why should you be different than anyone else?  :-)

Odd, I woulda thought the python module should be in site-packages, not
dist-packages.

dist-packages is for things from packages.
site-tpackages is for things you install from source.


But so few distros follow Python's advice.  As long as everything
matches and works.

Seems correct to me.  libntpc.so is in your LIBDIR.

Most of what ldconfig does is add these links:

/usr/local/lib64/libntpc.so.1
/usr/local/lib64/libntpc.so.1.1.0

To the main lib:

/usr/local/lib64/libntpc.so.1.1.0

Maybe waf already did what ldconfig does.  It know scons can.  gpsd
install creates the links so you do not need to run ldconfig.

Even distros like Gentoo can't decide between lib, lib32 and lib64.
So epect randomness.

So, no problems?
