Re: it's a shame... python error over error

almost every tool I touch that uses "python" in some way has some

-> example here is the "mono-build" with the following installation.
 
make[1]: Verzeichnis „HOME/src/mono.git/acceptance-tests“ wird betreten
HOME/ext/x86_64-suse-linux-gnu/debug/bin/python3: error while loading shared
libraries: libpython3.12d.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory

What is HOME/ext/x86_64-suse-linux-gnu/debug/bin/python3 and why is
HOME/src/mono.git/acceptance-tests trying to use it?

        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd18e9a000)
        libpython3.12d.so.1.0 => HOME/ext/x86_64-suse-linux-gnu/debug/lib64/libpython3.12d.so.1.0 (0x00007f9c5d374000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f9c5d350000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f9c5d349000)
        libutil.so.1 => /lib64/libutil.so.1 (0x00007f9c5d345000)

        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f9c5dab4000)

So HOME/ext/x86_64-suse-linux-gnu/debug/bin/python3 does find
HOME/ext/x86_64-suse-linux-gnu/debug/lib64/libpython3.12d.so.1.0 if you
invoke it from the shell (to confirm that, try actually invoking it
instead of running ldd on it), but not when it's called from whatever
make is doing in the acceptance-tests directory.

So it might be because it's in a different directory ("HOME/ext/..." is
a relative path. That will not work in a different directory. Also
"HOME" is a strange choice for a directory name. Did you mean $HOME?) or
because the acceptance tests set up their own environment.

I'd test the first idea first. Cd into
HOME/src/mono.git/acceptance-tests and try to invoke
HOME/ext/x86_64-suse-linux-gnu/debug/bin/python3 there.
