Re: [Bug-gnubg] build error: configure --with-python is not working.

[Christian Anthon]

I changed the python detection a couple of days ago, so likely that is
what is causing you problems.

a) do you have the python development package
b) do you have a python-config executable
c) what is in you config.h
d) what does "grep PYTHON config log" show
e) how does the build fail
