I'm running 64bit with some 32bit compatibility libs.  Perhaps that's
causing some trouble.  I'll investigate.

I think you've struck upon my problem.  I don't see lib64 or
site-packages in my list:

  /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/Rat-0.2.dev_r18-py2.6.egg
  /usr/lib/python2.6
  /usr/lib/python2.6/plat-linux2
  /usr/lib/python2.6/lib-tk
  /usr/lib/python2.6/lib-old
  /usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload
  /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages
  /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/PIL
  /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gst-0.10
  /var/lib/python-support/python2.6
  /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gtk-2.0
  /var/lib/python-support/python2.6/gtk-2.0
  /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode
  /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages

Much thanks, Robby!  You've been very helpful.  Knowing the nature of
the problem I'm sure I'll be able to fix it.
