   I tried to install 2.7.5 on my OpenSuse 12.2 (latest patches)

   ajung@blackmoon2:~/sandboxes/mib.portal> cat /etc/issue
   Welcome to openSUSE 12.2 "Mantis" - Kernel \r (\l).

   Compilation went fine (no visible errors).

   Starting the interpreter gives me:

   ajung@blackmoon2:~/sandboxes/mib.portal> /opt/python-2.7.5/bin/python
   Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
   Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]

   Without more information, it is difficult to guess what is going wrong. Please provide exactly what ./configure options you used to build Python and any "make install" options. When you start Python, what values do "sys.prefix", "sys.exec_prefix", and "sys.path" have? Does "python -E" give any different results?

   I guess you are on a 64bit os an the issue is a variant of bpo-1294959. Some of the components (scripts) are installed in the $PREFIX/lib folder and some are (libs) installed in the $PREFIX/lib64 folder. a workaround which worked for me (on OpenSuse 12.3 which faced the same issue) is specifying a lib directory on configure like this:

   ./configure --prefix=/opt/Python275 --libdir=/opt/Python275/lib

   All components (scripts & libs) are in the $PREFIX/lib folder then.
