Hi Rainer,

You were right in that it was not using the correct python version. It was
using 3.0 instead of 2.5. However, I had to use python_select to set it to
the correct version and install opencv. configure.python gave me error
(unless I did it wrong). 

Anyway it installed like a breeze.
Thanks,
SS.
