When attempting to install Python 2.4, I get the

"checking size of int... configure: error: cannot
compute sizeof (int), 
77"

config.log is attached.

Are you using the standard version of gcc that comes with
Tiger?  I noticed in the log it says ``gcc (GCC) 4.1.0
20050517 (experimental)`` and I thought Tiger had gcc 4.0 (I
can't check right now since I am at work), let alone came
with a non-experimental version.

Regardless, I don't see how it could be the configure files
fault since Python does not have any control over the C
compiler being able to determine the size of int.
