Recently I upgraded my ~x86 system to python 2.6, then removed 2.5. When trying to emerge kde-base/dcoppython-3.5.10 it seems the configure script does not check for python 2.6, but only for earlier versions. The (probably) relevant parts (see attachment for a full build log): ---- configure: ---- checking for Python directory... /usr/local checking for Python2.5... header no library no modules no checking for Python2.4... header no library no modules no checking for Python2.3... header no library no modules no checking for Python2.2... header no library no modules no checking for Python2.1... header no library no modules no checking for Python2.0... header no library no modules no checking for Python1.5... header no library no modules no checking for xsltproc... /usr/bin/xsltproc checking for

Created attachment 190682 [details] build log
Obviously an incomplete configure check. Have fun fixing that - the way kde abused autotools, it's always *a lot* of fun.
Created attachment 190713 [details, diff] Patch for compiling with python 2.6 The attached patch modifies in admin/acinclude.m4.in the macro that searches for the python directory. I simply added a new check for version 2.6. Works fine on my machine :-)
In CVS, well done for the patch :)
