Python port problems

Hello,

Starting up Mailman on one machine I'm on produces the following  
error message (see below). For some reason, this is not a problem  
with the same version on another FreeBSD machine I'm on, both  
installed from ports. I have 'mail/mailman' => 'MAIL_GID=mailman'  in  
my pkgtools.conf on both machines, and a mailman user/group...

According to the Mailman list, this is actually a Python build  
problem, which is why I'm posting this there (can't explain the fact  
that I'm not reproducing it on the same machine, although I think I  
may have accidently messed up some of the permissions in /usr on the  
machine this is no longer working on)... The list suggests that the  
configure arguments reference the Python executables, not the lib  
directory. I'm not sure if this applies to my problem, but here is  
the thread:

Any ideas?
