Sounds like their build scripts are broken.  The correct way to  
determine how to link to Python is to ask Python (via distutils, or  
read its Makefile directly).  You should talk to them about this  
problem.

However, the quick & dirty workaround would to be to do something  
like this:

sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/include/ 
python2.4 /usr/local/include/python2.4
sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/Python / 
usr/local/lib/libpython2.4.dylib

It should be able to use -lpython2.4 at that point, and might even  
find the include files where it expects to find them.
