That has already been tried.  The current cxfreeze is in /usr/bin.  And 
made no difference.  What hasn't been tried is putting the object link in 
the location where the modules are searched for and linking it there.  But 
I am not familiar enough with the typical python install to know where that 
might be on the hard drive.  Ubuntu, 10.04.4 LTS, is python-2.6 I think.

Thank you.

Cheers, Gene
