Done... and this is what I get when it tryies to configurePython:

I cannot import the Res module, nor load it from either of
toolboxmodules shared libraries. The errors encountered were:
import Res: No module named Res
load from toolboxmodules.CFM68K.slb: toolboxmodules.CFM68K.slb: File not

load from toolboxmodules.ppc.slb: toolboxmodules.ppc.slb: File not found
