[Mailman-Users] Distutils is not available or is incomplete for /usr/bin/python

I am upgrading a MacOSX 10.5.8 Server with Mailman 2.1.9 to 2.1.12. In attempting to ./configure mailman, I encounter the following:

Distutils is not available or is incomplete for /usr/bin/python

Here is the version information I have on Python:

Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Feb 6 2009, 19:02:12) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin

Suggestions on how to proceed? I have marginal skills.
