Thanks, I'll fix it right now.

Here is the checks for Python (in autoconf language)
# check for a copy of python >= 2.0 with the xml.parsers.expat module.
AM_PATH_PYTHON(2.0, [have_python=true], [have_python=false])
if $have_python; then
jh_python_check='
import sys
try:
import xml.parsers.expat
except ImportError:
sys.exit(1)
'
AC_MSG_CHECKING([for the Python module xml.parsers.expat])
if AC_RUN_LOG([$PYTHON -c "$jh_python_check"]); then
AC_MSG_RESULT([yes])
else
AC_MSG_RESULT([no])
have_python=false
fi
fi
AM_CONDITIONAL(HAVE_PYTHON, $have_python)
This appears to me as an option. Additionally, there is this:
if ! $have_python; then
echo "*****************************************************"
echo " A usable version of python was not found, so the"
echo " libglade-convert program was not installed. This"
echo " script requires Python >= 2.0 with expat support."
echo
echo " Some packages require libglade-convert to build"
echo " correctly. If you wish to build one of these"
echo " packages, you must install expat and python,"
echo " and then rebuild libglade."
echo "*****************************************************"
echo
fi
And lastly, I renamed my python and python2.4 executables and
the package built fine, albeit with the message above displayed
at the end of configure.
