os x make install dies when compiling zipfile.py on 2.5 and 2.4.4

[metaperl]

I've tried both Python 2.4.4 and Python 2.5. I'm trying to build from
source and install under a local directory Swarm since OpenSwarm
requires builds of Postgres and Python under it's control.

Ok, so I did

./configure --prefix=/Users/tbrannon/Documents/Python/Swarm/Python-2.5

but during make install I get this:

Compiling
/Users/tbrannon/Documents/Python/Swarm/Python-2.5/lib/python2.5/xmlrpclib.py
...
Compiling
/Users/tbrannon/Documents/Python/Swarm/Python-2.5/lib/python2.5/zipfile.py
...
make: *** [libinstall] Error 1
<!-- ~/Downloads/Python-2.5 tbrannon -->

and the same thing happens for Python 2.4.4 leaving me without a
platform-depedent install directory in my build.. any ideas?
