I attempted to build from the latest snapshot. Process fails during configure:
checking wether deprecated glib functions are enabled...
checking wether deprecated gtk functions are enabled...
checking for gdk-pixbuf-csource... /usr/local/bin//gdk-pixbuf-csource
checking for a Python interpreter with version >= 2.2... none
configure: error: no suitable Python interpreter found
Now I have the following in /usr/local/bin, which is in my PATH:
Procyon: ~/Desktop/gnubg] ls /usr/local/bin/py*
/usr/local/bin/pydoc /usr/local/bin/python2.5
/usr/local/bin/pydoc2.5 /usr/local/bin/python3.0
/usr/local/bin/pydoc3.0 /usr/local/bin/python3.0-config
/usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/bin/pythonw
/usr/local/bin/python-config /usr/local/bin/pythonw2.5
/usr/local/bin/python-config2.5 /usr/local/bin/pythonw3.0
It seems that configure checks for python2.[1234] but not for python2.[56].
