[Python-modules-team] Compile mod_python on Etch for python2.5 failing

[Jeffrey G Thomas]

I am not on this list, do I need to be?  I wish Synaptic/apt would tell me this in the maintainer field...

When I try to run mod_python with Apache2 and Python2.5 I get errors; according to this I should recompile mod_python:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/setting-up-python-2.5-on-apache2-in-debian-etch-661995/

But when I do, I get errors with my Python:

Any ideas out there?
