It'll compile just fine without Python. If it detects Python but then fails to build, that's a serious bug. Not finding Python is no big deal, especially on AMD64 where almost every distro has different (and weird) places to hide libraries. Try using the --with-extra-libs=/usr/lib64 argument to configure and see if that helps. Alternately you can try --with-libsuffix=64 (this breaks the detection of Qt on some distros, but where it does not is the more correct solution for distros that use /usr/lib64). I need to test approaches to adding that automatically, but it's not entirely trivial due to various distro quirks. As usual. If only the LSB had jumped in on the ground floor for the AMD64 transition... -- Craig Ringer
