I suggest you try Python 2.2b2. If that still has build issues, file a
bug with the Python developers.

This is a symptom of omniidl using a different version of Python to
the one it was compiled against. Make sure you don't have omnipython
installed, and that "python" on your path is the same thing you
specified in the make files.

That should have been made by the Python build. I don't know why it
wasn't.

Cheers,
