          On a clean OSX /usr/local does not exist. Do a
          "sudo mkdir -m 775 /usr/local"
!         before you do a make install. Alternatively, do "sudo make install"
!         which installs everything as superuser.
  
          You may want to try the configure option "--enable-framework"
          which installs Python as a framework. The location can be set
          as argument to the --enable-framework option (default
!         /Library/Frameworks). You may also want to check out ./Mac/OSX
!         for building a Python.app. You may also want to manually
!         install a symlink in /usr/local/bin/python to the executable
!         deep down in the framework.

          "sudo mkdir -m 775 /usr/local"

!         as this may later cause problems when installing distutils-based
!         additions.

!         Some people have reported problems building Python after using "fink"
!         to install additional unix software. Disabling fink (remove all references
!         to /sw from your .profile or .login) should solve this.

          which installs Python as a framework. The location can be set
          as argument to the --enable-framework option (default
!         /Library/Frameworks). A framework install is probably needed if you
!         want to use any Aqua-based GUI toolkit (whether Tkinter, wxPython,
!         Carbon, Cocoa or anything else).
!         
!         See Mac/OSX/README for more information on framework builds.
