I tried to debug a bit more on this, seems that buildconf calls a script 
build/PrintPath which returns the path of a program, i.e.:

   # ./PrintPath perl
   /usr/bin/perl

But when called by buildconf with parameter "python" it returns nothing, 
there is no "python" binary but a python2.6

   # ln -s /usr/local/bin/python2.6 /usr/local/bin/python

solves the problem, but is it common to create a link for python as with 
perl? Is that a patch or a hack?

Thanks, Erik
