Frank,

I'm trying to build a fgs package that includes gdal_python.  I get the 
following error:

python setup.py build
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "setup.py", line 4, in ?
   import os
ImportError: No module named os
make: *** [build] Error 1


I know that it is because fgsdev is using the version of Python on the 
computer I'm building the package on which is 2.3.5, instead of using 
the version built with fgs.  I check in your makefile that is called by 
fgs_build and you use "python setup.py build".  I know that for 
python_mapscript I have to use "$FGS_BUILD_HOME/python/bin/python 
setup.py build" in order to call the correct python interpreter.  I saw 
that you set $PYTHONHOME environment variable but it seems to have no 
effect in selecting the correct python binary.

Do you have any suggestion?
