Bugzilla Bug 42822

It can be fixed with adding a USE="-python" before emerge k3d

checking for freetype2... found version 9.4.3
checking for plib/ssg.h... yes
checking for ulInit in -lplibul... yes
checking for /usr/include/python2.2/Python.h... no
configure: error:
        Couldn't find Python.h ... if you don't require python support, re-run
        configure with the --without-python option

        If you wish to include support and have Python installed in a directory
        configure can't find, try specify the basepath to library and header:

                ./configure --with-python=/usr/local

        To find out the path, type:

                locate Python.h

        If the above return '/usr/local/include/python2.2/Python.h' the basepath
        will in that case be '/usr/local'.

locate Python.h gives the following path:

/usr/include/python2.3/Python.h

2.3 not 2.2

Fixed in cvs.
