Hi Josh,
I was trying to build mod_python on my box but got 'Script "configure" 
failed unexpectedly.' I'm running on FreeBSD 6.0, generic kernel, 
Apache 2.1.4. I'm a clueless n00b to *nixland so there's nothing too 
fancy about my setup, although I can't rule out having done something 
"obviously" stupid. Ordinarily with an error like this I'd assume that 
I'm at fault (which might still be the case) but I gather than the 
ports collection is supposed to be pretty idiot-proof and shouldn't 
break this easily, so I'm contacting you as per the message from 
configure. I Googled for 'mod_python Script configure failed 
unexpectedly' and got only a handful of irrelevant hits. Included below 
is the debug info that the script suggested I send to you. Let me know 
if I can help with troubleshooting. Any suggestions/info you can 
provide would be appreciated.

Cheers
Philip

Please report the problem to josh@elsasser.org [maintainer] and attach 
the

the
output of the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good 
idea to
provide an overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. an 
`ls
