[GRASS-dev] G65/7 ctypes compilation problem on Enterprise Linux

[Markus Neteler]

Hi,

since Helena mentioned a problem on enterprise Linux, I tried to compile 6.5 on
Scientific Linux, a RHEL derivate.

Indeed, I get this problem:

I also tried on GRASS 7, same thing.

SciLin 5.2 provides python2.4.

A fix would be appreciated.
