doubt this has to-do with your changes latexer, but have a look anyway...
You have to unset the $PYTHON variable that probably points to /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages ... Try unsetting it with: # unset PYTHON if this don't solve the problem, then open /etc/env.d/99python and remove the line that defines $PYTHON ; then: # env-update && source /etc/profile Now the problem would be solved. See you.
reporter, did comment #2 suggested fix work ?
Yes, after editing /etc/env.d/99python, it worked. However I have never touched this file before, so the situtation must have arised from an older Gentoo installation. Anyway, thanks for the workaround!
python guys, can you have look @ comment 2 & 4 ?
i'm pretty sure that we don't require the PYTHON env variable to be set anywhere. we never create /etc/env.d/99python so i suspect it is a local problem.
*bump* Can this bug be closed?
yep
