I actually also tried to build Libreoffice for the same reazon (trying to get involved with the project through GSoC), but had problems with python. I suppose it works well for python 2.7 but it has problems with python 3.2 (which is the one I have installed).
This was the output of autogen.sh checking whether to enable Python 2.x UNO API... yes checking which python to use... external checking for a Python interpreter with version >= 2.2... python checking for python... /usr/bin/python checking for python version... 3.2 checking for python platform... linux2 checking for python script directory... ${prefix}/lib/python3.2/site-packages checking for python extension module directory... ${exec_prefix}/lib/python3.2/site-packages File "<string>", line 1 import distutils.sysconfig; print distutils.sysconfig.get_config_var('INCLUDEPY'); ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax File "<string>", line 1 import distutils.sysconfig; print distutils.sysconfig.get_config_var('VERSION'); ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax File "<string>", line 1 import distutils.sysconfig; print distutils.sysconfig.get_config_var('LIBS'); ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax checking Python.h usability... no checking Python.h presence... no checking for Python.h... no configure: error: Python headers not found Now, what I did was import sys and do stdout calls to replace the print. It did finish the autogen, but then I had problems with the python library when trying to compile. Did anybody else have a problem like this? maybe it would be better to state in the installation scripts that a version of python greater than 2.2 but less than 3.0 is needed.
