While installing something through fink I got this:

Apparently the auto-installation of component python23 wasn't enough? fink doesn't have any packages under those names.

You need the "python" package. If you have python23 installed, you already have a precompiled python. Just say "fink install python".

I even DLed the source from Python's web site and compiled it myself as a framework. The compile failed, for this reason, if it interests:

Bad idea for many reasons. The foremost one: On Panther, you already have Python as a framework. This is actually where the "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/include/" part of your error message was coming from. This was /usr/bin/python speaking.


The lilypond package is not (yet?) capable of using this framework, it works with the more traditional fink python packages. Therefore you need a /sw/bin/python, and this comes in the "python" package. The fact that this is not required automatically is a bug in the lilypond package (maintainer CCed).
