Hi Martin,

I did the following:

   fink selfupdate
   fink update-all
   cvspurge # removes all locally-changed or added files
   cvs up  # in vpython-core2 directory
   sh ./autogen.sh
   export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/sw/lib/fontconfig2/lib/pkgconfig:/sw/lib/ 
xft2/lib/pkgconfig:/sw/lib/freetype219/lib/pkgconfig
   ./configure --prefix=/sw
   make
   sudo make install
   python [vpython script]

Which results in:

   Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)
   Abort trap

What am I doing wrong?  Somewhere I seem to be missing a step.
