I have a dual-core 64-bit AMD laptop, running Mandriva 2008.1 with 
kernel 2.6.24.4-laptop-1mnb.

I'm trying to install a program requiring pygtk-2.10 or greater and  
finding that pygtk-2.12.1 fails during 'make install' (after 
'./configure --prefix='/usr/bin' and 'make') saying it can't find 
pygobject.h.

However pygobject-2.14.1 was already installed with ./configure 
--prefix='/usr/bin', make, make install. 'Make install'  installed the 
libraries in /usr/bin/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gobject and 
had advised adding this directory to /etc/ld.so.conf, so I had added a 
file 'pygobject.conf' to /etc/ld.so.confd containing the  single line 
"/usr/bin/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gobject" (no quotes).

pygobject.h was present in /usr/bin/include/pygtk-2.0.

How do I get pygtk to find pygobject.h?
