Christian, I received this email from Nori. It appears that python-config may not exist on Python2.4 which happens to be the version on CentOS 5 and RHEL 5.
2.4 is pretty widespread version of python. I'd say this may be an actual problem for us. ------ Forwarded Message From: 保坂範行 <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2009 17:27:15 +0900 To: Michael Petch <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Bug-gnubg] build error: configure --with-python is not working.
