python24 install failure

[Kevin Horton]

I realized that I might have Fink stuff linked to my ports stuff, so I uninstalled all my ports, deleted the archives, changed the PATH to remove /sw, and started reinstalling.The python24 port will not install, failing like:

========================================
I did a port selfupdate.  I'm on PPC, with the latest XCode.  Any advice would be appreciated.
