devel/gobject-introspection throws up because of python

[Chris Brennan]

While trying to compile audio/tagtool on a FreeBSD7.3 (x86) machine
devel/gobject-introspection decides to throw up and I got this: (the install
was via portmaster -d)


checking for /usr/local/bin/python2.6 version... 2.6
checking for /usr/local/bin/python2.6 platform... freebsd7
checking for /usr/local/bin/python2.6 script directory...

===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please run the gnomelogalyzer, available from
"http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/gnomelogalyzer.sh", which will diagnose the
problem and suggest a solution. If - and only if - the gnomelogalyzer cannot
solve the problem, report the build failure to the FreeBSD GNOME team at
gnome at FreeBSD.org, and attach (a)
"/usr/ports/devel/gobject-introspection/work/gobject-introspection-0.9.12/config.log",
(b) the output of the failed make command, and (c) the gnomelogalyzer
output.
Also, it might be a good idea to provide an overview of all packages
installed
on your system (i.e. an `ls /var/db/pkg`). Put your attachment up on any
website, copy-and-paste into http://freebsd-gnome.pastebin.com, or use
send-pr(1) with the attachment. Try to avoid sending any attachments to the
mailing list (gnome at FreeBSD.org), because attachments sent to FreeBSD
mailing
lists are usually discarded by the mailing list software.
*** Error code 1

Python is installed from ports. It just seems odd to me that
devel/gobject-introspection is throwing up like this, I did see this before,
on my FreeBSD8.1 install of my laptop but it went away when I re-ran what I
was trying to install. This time, it didn't go away, it's very repeatable.
