configure: error: no usable python found

[Anton Kunze <ak at technosis dot de>]

Hello,

I try to compile gdb 7.0.1 with python on suse linux, but I get this
error message ("no usable python found").

1. I build python in folder "/usr/lib/Python-2.6.4" with "./configure --enable-shared" and "make"
2. I compile gdb with "./configure --with-python=/usr/lib/Python-2.6.4" and "make"
3. I get this message on the end:

checking whether to use python... /usr/lib/Python-2.6.4
checking for python2.6... no
checking for python2.5... no
checking for python2.4... no
configure: error: no usable python found at /usr/lib/Python-2.6.4
