This means one of two things. Either something went terribly wrong with
the configure, make install process or you are running bin/checkperms
in the download and unpack directory, not in the installed directory.
I.e. the check_perms you are running still has

#! @PYTHON@

as its first line instead of

#! path/to/python

as changed by configure.

This is because the japanese codecs were for some reason not installed
in $prefix/pythonlib. This can happen I think if your gunzip and untar
of the distribution is recursive and also gunzips the .tar.gz files in
the misc/ directory. There may be other reasons.
