Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-08-01 23:05:59 UTC
Check the attached build log, the problem is in this part of acinclude.m4:

                        AC_MSG_RESULT([no])
                        AC_MSG_ERROR([this package requires Python $1. 
If you have it installed, but it isn't the default Python
interpreter in your system path, please pass the PYTHON_VERSION 
variable to configure. See ``configure --help'' for reference.
])dnl
                fi
        fi

the "dnl" there stands for "discard till new line", a comment, but new-line is included in the discard, that brings the "fi" keyword up. In the final configure it becomes:

                        as_fn_error "this package requires Python .
If you have it installed, but it isn't the default Python
interpreter in your system path, please pass the PYTHON_VERSION
variable to configure. See \`\`configure --help'' for reference.
" "$LINENO" 5           fi

and fi is thus interpreted as a parameter to as_fn_error.

there will, then, be a missing "fi" in the configure file.
