If you scroll up the logfile a bit you can see that the error is unrelated to python-devel: [...] configure: WARNING: ldap.h: present but cannot be compiled [...] checking for check - version >= 0.9.0... no *** Could not run check test program, checking why... *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for *** the exact error that occured. [...] That's what you have to do, run a local build and check the end of config.log for suspicious error messages. Cheers, Michael. Ah, I only feel slightly embarrassed and stupid. I'll certainly check the config.log on my local machine. What confuses me slightly is why did it build before I added the architecture specific parts, but not now?
