/sw/bin/python is the first python in my path and points to /sw/bin/ 
python2.5  As far as I can tell, it should be the same for all of  
these cases.

I already added that symlink manually.  Does the python package do  
more than that?

I don't know if I remembered to note this in my earlier mail, but the  
tip you gave about renaming -lboost_python to /sw/lib/ 
libboost_python.a worked to get a working VPython, though still  
crashing frequently.
