Look at lou_getTable. It basically looks in the current directory and in $install_prefix/share/liblouis/tables (this is sort of hard coded over a number of makefiles) and is determined at compile time. > the python bindings only link at runtime and so find what they can > where as the C code will be linked at compile time. Since the Python bindings simply use the C code they should be all set. Thanks again.
