Those messages come from the AM_PATH_PYTHON Autoconf macro we use to check for Python. We don't use the PYTHON_PREFIX and PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX values; those locations are found out by the setup.py script. It appears you can override PYTHON_PREFIX and PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX in the environment but you shouldn't need to.
I may have to-- PYTHON=/opt/local/bin/python2.5 ./configure continues to generate the above error messages.
uninstall_zenmap worked correctly, but the configure directive still breaks.Try running uninstall_zenmap and reinstalling. distutils (the distribution system Zenmap uses) doesn't overwrite files on install unless the file to be installed is newer than the installed file. This may interfere with other parts of the installation. If that works, please tell me, and it will be a strong argument for always using --force when installing Zenmap, which is something I've thought about.
Can you run Zenmap by entering the zenmap source directory and running "/opt/local/bin/python2.5 zenmap"?
After satisfying a handful of dependancies, yes. I'll include a list of them a bit later once we get this issue sorted.
