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.
I don't understand--you mean configure stops running after those messages? They aren't error messages, just information messages, so they shouldn't cause the configure script to quit. Maybe you can send me the config.log that exists after the script fails.
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.
I wrote a howto on running Zenmap with MacPorts and Fink: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2008/q2/0040.html It's a little out of date in that I don't think MacPorts has the sqlite3 problem I described any more. The only top-level dependencies it should require are py25-gtk and py25-sqlite3 (which bring in a ton of their own dependencies). I notice in those instructions that I said to specify PYTHON during make, not configure. It shouldn't matter but doing that is worth a try. You can also try entering the zenmap directory and running /opt/local/bin/python2.5 setup.py clean --all /opt/local/bin/python2.5 setup.py build --prefix="..." /opt/local/bin/python2.5 setup.py install --force (replace "..."), which is basically what the Nmap makefile does when PYTHON is set correctly.
