we already received this error report from another user, but not with the hint about the actual version of the python interpreter in $worksrcpath; neither Jann nor Elias nor I did encounter this particular error and we have been unable to reproduce it so far.

I too have encountered this problem while building Python 2.4 with MacPorts. My Mac's filesystem is case sensitive. Mr. Beard, is your filesystem case sensitive? There is logic in configure.in (and thus configure) that tests whether the filesystem is case INsensitive. On most Macs this test will evaluate to true but on my Mac it will evaluate to false. Could this difference be the source of the build failure and the fact that some aspects of the build expect "python.exe" to exist? -Michael Dakin
