Sorry. Here is attached the config.log

Comment 4 Keno 2007-08-14 22:11:44 UTC

The problem might be that I have had to make a symlink /usr/local/bin/python to the original /usr/bin/python for other (non-gentoo) apps. The includes are, of course, in /usr/include/python2.4 not in /usr/local... But I need for this link. May I create one for includes?

Please, don't do such things. There's no need to symlink stuff that's in $PATH already.

Comment 6 Keno 2007-08-15 10:32:43 UTC

Removing this python link the package emerges. (So now I can put back this link for my other stupid stuff. :-)

Comment 7 Keno 2007-08-15 13:02:44 UTC

I have found that stupid staff that does not work without the link. That is the java-config-2 script which contains #!/usr/local/bin/python in its first line.(java-config-1 begins with #!/usr/bin/python) Of course, this script works fine with the problematic link.
This script belongs to dev-java/java-config-1.3.7. (So it is in a Gentoo package.)
Should this issue be forwarded to java staff?
