Problems installing Python 2.5.1 on PowerMac G4

[Andre-John Mas]

Hi,

I am trying to install Python 2.5.1 on my PowerMac G4, but I am
running into some problems. Note that I have verified that my
ports install is up to date with 'sudo ports selfupdate'. Follows
is the output from attempting an install. Any ideas?
