(Needless to say, it seems that the old routine worked "by chance"
in this situation, since it picked the version number from the path
not from the output of the command.)
What I don't really understand is why you include the full path in
$exe, why not simply use the command name and let shell find it
(it should find the same executable as 'type -p' anyway). If I just
replace the current definition of $exe with
exe= $r
everything works fine.

Hi,
On my system, the latest Python version is installed in
/pkg/python/2.4.2/os/bin/python
and it seems that the new version checking routine in configure
fails in such situations. I haven't deciphered exactly how you
expect it to work, but if I remove the final | sed 's/\([0-9.]*\).*/\1/g'
_ver will be
/pkg/python/2.4.2/os/bin/python
instead of
2.4.2
