when I emerge eog, the portage will upgrade gnome-python to 2.20.1 which emerge failed. The error message is: checking for a Python interpreter with version >= 2.2... python checking for python... /usr/bin/python checking for python version... 2.4 checking for python platform... linux2 checking for python script directory... ${prefix}/lib/python2.4/site-packages checking for python extension module directory... ${exec_prefix}/lib/python2.4/site-packages checking for headers required to compile python extensions... not found configure: error: could not find Python headers or library Please see attachment "config.log" to see the detail. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge eog, and the portage upgrades the gnome-python to 2.20.1 automatically, econf die at checking python headers or library (not found); 2.emerge gnome-python directly, the result is the same as above. Actual Results: emerge gnome-python-2.20.1 failed at checking python headers or library. Expected Results: emerge gnome-python-2.20.1 success. Because of emerging gnome-python failure, gnome destop could not startup, I can't see anything on gnome desktop when I login the linux, And also I can't run the FileBrowser(natilus).
