[Image-SIG] Compilation problem on Mac OS X 10.2.8

My eventual goal is to install the pygame package. I
tried the MacPython installer and could install all
the prerequisites.. but for some reason the new pygame
(in the non-official list) requires the 10.3
installation of python. I poked around a little but
couldn't find an upgrade from apple. I also tried some
older / different install lists but things still
didn't seem to be working correctly.

I'll try that.

I was a little careful here i only replaced:
/usr/bin/python
which was hard linked to:
/usr/bin/python2.2
So I can go back to using apples python if i have 
problems. Maybe i'm having trouble because the install

is looking for the wrong libraries for my python. 
I'll try compiling with python pointed at my binary
rather than the link.

I'm pretty sure i removed config.cache but I'll make
sure I do that on my next try. Think it's possible
that 
this is related to apple's other linking problems
like -no-cpp-precomp?

thanks :-)
