I had not set a default python version before I built the reduce libraries, unaware it was using apple's system python 2.7 to build. However, when I set a python version using port select —set python and add the python group, libreduce fails at configure. There is a file ‘ac_python_devel.m4’ in the source directory that is throwing the error (see attached). I’m not sure why builds with apple’s python and not macports.
