python25 "not a valid ppc64 mach-o file" error while trying to install gimp

[Fred Brown Althot]

Hi,

When trying to install the GIMP, I get this little nasty:

Now, I tried installing python 2.5 independently with a package, that  
seemed to work fine, but I still get the same error (I was hoping it  
would detect the installed dependency and move on, but alas, it does  
not).

Any help overcoming this setback would be greatly appreciated,  
because I'm running out of ideas right now.

Sincerely,
Fred
